hey guys,
just a quickie.
On the front wheel hubs on an ae82, how tight should the centre nut be?
tight as a bitch? or tighten it up like hell, then back off a 1/2, 1.4 turn??? or is there a specific torque it needs to be???
ive previusly done it right up tight, then backed of 1/4 turn or so.
but talking to a mechanic, they do it right up with a rattle gun.
also mumbled something about the ae82 hubs needed to be bolted tight to the axle.
anyone have any idea?
cheers!
