Rear Axle Bearings

NOTE: Axle lock nut on right side has left-hand threads. Always install NEW lock nut when removed.

With bearings installed, tighten NEW lock nut to 18-22 ft. lbs. (24-30 N.m) while rotating wheel. Slightly loosen lock nut so it can be turned by hand. Install a lug nut into axle hub. Attach an inch-pound torque wrench to lug nut at 12 o'clock position. Measure bearing preload. Tighten lock nut until bearing preload, including seal drag, is 3.5-6.2 INCH lbs. (.4-.7 N.m). Stake NEW lock nut into notch on spindle.
