Need torque verification
 

I have checked two books now and each book says that the big nut on the hub
assembly for a 1988 Jeep Wrangler gets torqued to 175 foot pounds. Is this
correct? Is there a crush sleeve inside this hub assembly that I do not know
about. The reason I ask is that first I find it unbelievable and two is my
torque wrench only goes to 150 foot pounds. Please advise

Thanks

Hows this so unbelievable??

The lugs on your rims are supposed to be torqued from 80-100 foot pounds or
something (bill??).

If you are thinking that this is a lot cuz you think of lifting 150pounds as
a hard task...well, it's called torque not force. With a 2foot handle on
your wrench it takes a rather small amount of force on your end to create
150pounds on the nut/hub end.

I was working on some heavy equipment and had to torque down some bolts to
250. I'm thinkin...wait, I'm 250....do I have to do a chin-up?
nope....with a cheater bar I did it one handed! Very easy!

Re: Need torque verification
 

I am just thinking about the force of the roller bearing onto the race face.
To me this 175 foot pounds that the book calls for is a lot more then that
used on the Timken bearing on the spindle of an old Chevy drum break
assembly. As a matter of a fact they only had a 25 inch pound torque
requirement, so for me I see 175 foot pounds as a lot of pre load on two
roller bearing. I can only suspect that inside this assembly must be a
precision ground spacer that is actually sharing the load. Does anyone know?

The axle nut has nothing to with the ball bears setup they are
pressed on to the pipe thingie you call a hub and all you're doing is
securing the axle to it, just like these little front wheel drive rice
burners: http://www.----------.com/Dana30hub.jpg
