Dear all, please could someboby explain me or pass me a link how to tighten the castle nut of my tapered rear axle?
I am skill with cars, but not with this axle design. It was no big job to loosen the castle nut. Pull of the drum was a different job. Now i do the assembling. I can not find the torque somewhere in my manual. the shaft was dry, no grease. is grease forbidden? when i tighten the castle nut by hand, without wrench, it gets tight very easy. the tighten progress by using a wrench is only a little. for my feeling it does not need high torque. But i am not sure. Is there somewhere a manual, just for this unique job? on youtube i can find a lot of stuff about pulling the drums, but not how reverse in propper manner. thank you very much in advance, Josef
