Anyone want to this for me.... for $10?


I don't have a torque wrench that can go that high.

 

try 280ft


220 wont hold. i have teh axle click myself.

 

u also have to regrease the axle splines and the hub splines too

 

Ryan said the exact same thing. I was going to regrease and try 220, but after reading on S2ki some more, 220 is factory 280 is what works.

 

Lol I'll let this one slide...

 

I re-did mine to 220 with the grease on the threads and back of the nut, and haven't had a problem since.

 

220 should work just fine. If it doesn't, there is most likely minor damage to the hub or bearing.

 

Just call over a overweight friend and place a breaker bar on the nut and have them stand on it. Works for me

 

60 extra ft lbs on a 220 ft lb base setting seems a little extreme, thats almost 25% higher than base. I wouldn't feel comfortable with that on a critical fastener; you might as well just tighten it by hand and not bother with a torque wrench if you're going to completely disregard the factory spec by that high of a margin...

 

Factory spec is 181ft/lb. The TSB calls for a 220ft/lb spec w/grease. However, a few thousand miles with a little bit of wheel spin and the nuts loosen back up again and cause the clicking. If you want it to stop and not come back, 280 ft/lb works with the updated axle nut and grease. This is a very common problem for the 00-01's, which none of you guys have. 220ft/lb w/ grease will work if you take it easy on the car. But after a few launches at an auto-x event, drag strip or just playing around on the street and the clicking comes back.
