When reinstalling the rear axle nut how much torque should the axle nut be tightened to? It seems I need quite a bit of torque to re-tighten the nut to where the tab on the axle nut can be aligned with the axle indentation.

Hello –

I have attached the info on install for this nut. I would make sure that you first rotate the tire and tighten pretty tight. Then back off and spin the tire and do it again even tigher. Then back off and spin one more time and then torque to the required 217 ft lbs. Then stake as it says.

2. INSTALL REAR AXLE SHAFT LH NUT
a. Install a new axle shaft LH nut. Torque: 294 Nm (3,000 kg-cm, 217 ft. lbs.)
b. Using a chisel and hammer, stake the axle shaft LH nut.

Does this answer your question?
