Chuck H Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I just replaced the rear passenger side outward axle flange gasket and would like to know what the axle nuts(8 of them)torque specs are. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinhy Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Should be 150-180 ft pounds 5/8 studs. Torque in a cross pattern too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution vito.a Posted September 30, 2021 Solution Share Posted September 30, 2021 Are they 5/8" or 1/2"? Size of the stud, not the hex nut. Grade 8, 1/2"NF is 90 ft. lbs. I used this chart: Bolt Depot - US Recommended Bolt Torque Table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's never a dull moment good or bad but the hard work we all put into these machines is out weighed by all of the good moments and memories made. 26 minutes ago, vito.a said: Are they 5/8" or 1/2"?

Ivylog Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 My shade tree answer was 100 before reading the other posts as it’s not something I’ve ever used a torque wrench on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck H Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 I stand corrected! As it turned out I found they were #8, 9/16 fine thread (not 1/2") which calls for 129 ft.lb torque. So project done and another lesson learned in the world of RVing! Thank you all for your input, you are the reason we all turn to these forums for help.

Just curious , did the flange have groves on the inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious , did the flange have groves on the inside? Do you mean the grooves around the base of the axle shaft outwards toward the stud holes? If so then yes.

Flyinhy Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Okay, good to know for future reference......I'm sure at some point in the near future I'll be doing the same to mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
