Rear end service 76
I'm greasing the rear axle bearings on my 76. The book that I have states the spindle flange bolt is to be torqued to 100 lbs.
I put this together 15 years ago. I don' t think they were this tight..
Does anyone know the tight ness of this bolt
Thanks

ACTUALLY...90 lbs/ft and then tighten further to align up the castle nut so the cotter pin can be installed.
You are aware that you are only greasing one bearing? No way to get grease to the outer bearing unless it is disassembled.
