Uberoo Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 those are for new bolts,it is less for old bolts,especially the soft stub axle bolts.Jess(jbbvw) broke the head off a stub axle bolt while tightening it with a 1/4" ratchet while helping to fix a broken stub on my car at Evans Creek.

Gloyale Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 those are for new bolts,it is less for old bolts,especially the soft stub axle bolts.Jess(jbbvw) broke the head off a stub axle bolt while tightening it with a 1/4" ratchet while helping to fix a broken stub on my car at Evans Creek. I watched this. He was not torquing hard on it at all. it just snapped off. Just the head, the shoulder stayed in and the stub stayed in......But it will be a bitch to get out gotta wait till it snaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberoo Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 the torque spec for old stub shaft bolts is tighten it until it snaps,then back it off 1/2 turn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
