Rear axle nut torque spec?
This is not covered in Theta's posts, and I can't seem to find it elsewhere, either. There's some discussion that C6 axle nut is set to 160 lb.ft. (after a TSB), but C6 axle is 33/34mm, while C7 axle nut is 36mm; makes you wonder if it would have even more torque speced for it.
Does anyone know? Those who changed spindles; how much torque did you apply?
