[Arleaux]

any suggestions on what to use to tighten the preload nut before i back it off

 

[Cruiserdrew]

47 ft-lbs from memory but close enough.

 

[cruiserdan]

I interpreted that as what tool to use.

A 54mm socket and a torque wrench set to 47 lb-ft to start with. Then back-off the nut until it can be turned by hand and check the pre-load using a spring-tension gauge. If the pre-load is too light, tighten up the nut a bit and re-check until it is within spec. Next install the lock-tab washer and the outer nut. Torque the outer nut to 47 lb-ft and re-check the preload. If not within spec, take the outer off and start over.

Thanks Dan,

That is the info I needed. I guess I will get started on the other side and pick up a 54mm socket
in the morn.
Would I be able to find a spring tension gauge at any old parts house ?

real men use trigger gauges!
real He-men have them set only for 4.5lbs...

My Dad said his was only set at 4.3

Agreed...


4.5 lbs is PERFECT for service rifle but it is a tad loose for wheel bearings......

I know a guy who uses a trigger guage and another who uses an old zebco fish scale. Both seem to work well enough.

Who remembers the SAE size for the craftsman socket? Was it 2 1/8?

 

[cruiserdan]

2 and 1/8 inches is 54mm.

I ditched the Zebco.

Marlin Crawler sells a super nice guage, actually a fancy fish scale for less than $10. It is really great for this purpose as it remembers the strain after you let up. I highly reccomend this product for bearing work.

I also use a Craftsman 2 1/8, but Dan was going to get me a real Toyota one, which I forgot to order when I called on Thursday..hint, hint....

Noted....

I reused the inner and outer wheel bearings and did not use a tension gauge when I put it back together.

 

[Arleaux]

I used a 2 1/8, but I had to machine the outside diameter.

Now I need to know the torque on the 6 nuts on the hub.(conewashers)

 

[Arleaux]

Sorry about all the questions, but the FSM I ordered from the Lexus dealership (2 wks ago) has not arrived.

I appreciate the help.

22 ft/lbs (from memory.... obviously wrong) Should be 26 ft/lbs
