I Have gone and removed a rear hub centre nut on one side without realising I should have undone the 4 bolts holding the stub axle on to change the rear shoes, luckily its only one side, I have a new locknut assembly but dont know how much to torque it up to a used bearing, does anyone know the torque setting for the rear hub nut ??

Thx in advance

 

235nm is the official Ford setting. Allow the hub to rotate whilst doing it, ie dont do it through the wheel with the car on the ground.

 

Thankyou for the reply, its all back together, phew lol, luckily I had a torque wrench capable with me, changed the other drum shoes using the correct method and found it very straight forward, took about 30 mins, anyway thx again for your help

 

Why all the fuss? I do brake swaps / adjustments with just the drum off without issue..........
