My FSM shows 29 - 39 ft-lb page 6-16 fig 6-47 Pub# 98154 which is correct for later axles but not yours, see below.

That is NOT correct!


Your FSM will have a bolt torque for a 10mmx1.25 bolt....which is what was used on the 08/75 and later front spindles....



The bolts on the drum brake spindle are 8mmx1.25, and will twist off at anything much over 25 foot-pounds...

Damn you are fast, that thought popped into my head after I posted and I have been trying to find my old FSM... Will find. Hold on

 

[Poser]

It will be called out in the rear of the manual, if it is not printed in the section where the work is being detailed....

 

[John Smith]

Phew, that took awhile to find. 11 - 16 ft-lb Toyota pub# 98077-1 page 5-27 step 10
