[Spridgets] Rear hub nut torque

[Michael MacLean]

I bought this somewhere when I did my hubs and bearings a few months ago.  It's a 64th over 2 3/16ths.  1 inch drive.  No, I don't remember what I paid.  Could not have been too much as I am rather cheap.Mike MacLean

Youse guys!   I'm using a socket!  I'm also using a spare hub/bearing from a rear housing I got with Frank's parts .   Water came out of the rear axle before gear oil!   One bearing rusted the other looks like New!   But!   I want all New seals in the Midget's rear .Chuck

Those I installed last month were brandy new.  The old ones had been removed and installed a number of times using nothing but a Harley tool kit.  (2 pound hammer, 5 pound hammer, 10 pound hammer)   :-)

Indeed!  I also don’t re-use them. I buy in bulk for on British Parts Northwest.

Torqued the nuts on my Bugeye hubs to 140 last month - no problems.  Look up the specs on that nut and you'll find 140 is well within it's capabilities.  It's a BIG nut.  :-)

 I'm reading 140ft lbs.  Really?  I'm also reading frequent accounts of stripping the housing threads at that value.  Any experiences to share...or lower torque values & why?Chuck
