It can be real 'fun' to get the sucker off too! I have snapped a couple

Re: Need torque verification
The center spindle bolts solid to the axle. This does not load the
bearing in any way.
When I do u-joints, I don't even bother undoing that nut.

Re: Need torque verification
When I bought my 36mm socket....they had 2 types one chrome and one flat
black (impact), I got the impact even though at the time I didn't have air
or an impact wrench...but I am here to tell you impact is the way to go
removing that nut. Buy or rent a 250 ft-lbs torque wrench for installation,
you really don't want your hub loose.

Re: Need torque verification
When I bought my 36mm socket....they had 2 types one chrome and one flat
black (impact), I got the impact even though at the time I didn't have air
or an impact wrench...but I am here to tell you impact is the way to go
removing that nut. Buy or rent a 250 ft-lbs torque wrench for installation,
you really don't want your hub loose.
