- Tighten to 175 Nm (129 lb-ft).
NOTE: Measure the depth of the Constant Velocity (CV) shaft threaded end to the inner bearing race (shown in illustration). The minimum depth is 15.5 mm (0.61 in). If the depth is less than 15.5 mm (0.61 in) rotate the CV shaft to clear a binding condition between the Integrated Wheel End (IWE) and CV splines. Installing the axle nut and tightening without the proper depth of protrusion will result in damage to the IWE .

Measure the CV shaft threaded end to the inner bearing race.
NOTE: Verify the spline engagement by checking for spline lash before installing the axle nut or component damage may occur.
