Axle shaft torque spec

[Red Rocket]

Sorry, I haven't gotten my service manual yet, but I need the torque specs for when I tighten down the axle nut on the outside of the bearing hub assembly. Thanks for the help.

Red, the '95 manual just says to tighten the nut securely, then tighten it more to get the cotter pin in. This for a 4x4, which I think you have. Use plenty of anti-seize, but I don't have to tell you that. I've run into this just tighten securely business many times on other rigs, it is fairly common. The axle nut isn't holding the wheel on like on a 2wd, it's the four bolts behind that get that job.

Red,the 96 manual says 175 foot pounds on the axle nut and 125 foot pounds on the four bolts that hold the hub in place.
