Suspension component torque specs?

I punched the nut with a chisel.

I didn’t want to risk the nut walking out on its own.

I made sure it’ll stay right where I put it.

The socket is a 30 mm and 12 point, so that’s the only non spec tool you’ll need (get one at the local auto parts store).

I’m sure you have a punch or chisel lying around to keep that hub nut in line.

 

I know it was dimpled when I did the work, so I just “left it as I found it”.

But the axle has the gap to do this, and the manual calls out to, so I followed the procedure .

When does this work begin for you?

 

Do you guys have air tools?

 

Nope.

Only hot air powered.

But I eat my wheaties before a maintenance day.

 

When you take the brakes and rotors off, you’ll see a slot cut into the axle .

Use a drill and appropriate sized bit to clear the old punched axle nut.

Upon reassembly, Once you have confirmed that the new hub bearing assembly is properly seated (peak your head around and ensure the tapered lip full engages the housing), tighten the axle nut to 160 foot pounds (that’s what’s in the manual, but my torque wrench only goes to 150 so I went til I got a click then out a bit more into the torque).

Once that is done, find the slot and take a chisel or punch and hammer a flat spot into the slot.

You got this.

 

Yup, simple.

I’m sure you have something lying around that will work.

Good video .

 

That should work.

But that is a premium price.

Maybe being close to the 49th parallel has some disadvantages .

But you’ll be able to get the torque spec .

 

You can never have enough torque wrenches. I'm hoping to get a 1/4" in inch/pound range, for upcoming bday.

 

I have the 1/4,3/8 and 1/2 inch variety and it still seems like I’m missing something .

But 99% of what I need is met within these ranges so I’ll take it.

 

Looks like a very solid wrench, and comes with extension and reducer.

Just editorial: he's using it to break the nut loose?

 

Some of the new torque wrenches will measure in degrees because some of the specs call for it. This is something I just ran across on the internet and never had to use it yet so you will be prepared.

Yup.

When I got the $15 subscription, I got our 2010 Prius and the 2017 RX450h completed, then did some spot duty for some other side projects .

But get it on a Friday and plan the weekend accordingly .

 

This is where I get my information from. Mitchells is owned by Snap-On tool and their information is right out of Toyota's manuals.

I see a one month subscription there is about $20, so a better deal than techinfo.toyota.com for a month, but a 2 day subscription there is $15.

I’d go to the source, but that seems like an option.
