Axle Nut

Axle Nut 150 Nm (111 ft. lbs).

Remove and discard the axle shaft nut.

Install and tighten the new front axle wheel end nut to specification in a continuous rotation. Stopping the rotation during installation will cause the nylon lock to seat incorrectly. This will cause incorrect torque readings while tightening the front axle wheel end nut and lead to bearing failure. Always install a new front axle wheel end nut after loosening or when not tightened to specification in a continuous rotation.

Never use power tools to tighten the front axle wheel end nut.

Apply a small patch of Threadlock and sealer to the last five outboard CV joint threads.
