I just need the torque for preloading the axle bearings when reinstalling the drums. Thanks

The procedure is very specific. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2015 Posts: 59 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jun 2015 Posts: 59 | Thanks for the reply I actually did think of that but since I don’t have a shop manual l was thinking someone with a manual might relay the info. I did buy a 62 shop manual but it was for the American built GMC truck and did not cover the axle I have in my truck.
