Is there a torque setting for the rear hub nut?

Thanks. Roger

Most of the rear tappered axles are about 200-250 ft/lbs.

Keep in mind that you have to get a cotter pin in there. So run up the torque until you're at least at 100 or so. Then stick the cotter pin in when you can. You don't want to go more than around 250.

I always look up the size of the threaded shaft and there is a torque spec. online for that size. That nuts usually over 200 ft lbs.
