Default Hub Bolt Tourqe
I'm sure this has been asked before but, what is the tourqe on the 3 bolts that hold the rear hub in place (the t-55's)? I have looked everywhere but can't find anything I can depend on.
I have an '85

Thanks

Did you look at the end of chapter 3, rear suspension, in your FSM, where all the rear suspension torque specs are given? Mine says 59 to 73 ft. lbs. You might want to make sure your isn't different.

RACE ON!!!

And there was a revision somewhere down the line, the big bolt is now torqued to 200ft lbs.
