Hi all, I've got a query regarding the torque that should be applied to the hub nut on the rear bearings.
I'm replacing both sides and can't find a sensible torque figure that doesn't sieze the hub ***embly. I contacted a friend that works in the trade they used their car data program and suggest 64Nm. They weren't difficult to remove, so definitely not the ~130Nm torque setting like other vehicles. At 64Nm the hub rotates with a little effort and wheel rotates freely when fitted. Any more and the hub is very hard/impossible to rotate by hand.
Thanks,
Miggy
