Ford Escort 1.8i Ghia X Mk6 Saloon Rear Bearing Nut Torque
Hi! I'm new to the forum and hoping that somebody might be able to offer some advice on how much torque to apply to the rear hub nut.
I've searched quite a bit but most of the existing advice and the Haynes manual seem to only talk about the type of nut which is secured by a split pin. However my Escort just has a large nut with attached washer and the bearing is the tapered type.
The torque setting is obviously important as I don't want to put too mush stress on the bearings but also don't want it coming loos so the wheel could fall off.
Thanks for reading : )
