If I do the math and divide by 12, it gives me 33 and 1/3 foot pounds to set my torque wrench to.
Somehow I find this excessive. I've always thought that the nut is tightened by feel; wiggling the hub to get the grease to set in the races. Then cotter pinning it.
I would have guessed that if a torque wrench was applied maybe only 10 pounds would be necessary.
Any thoughts? :confused: | | |
