Dana 60 Hub nut?????

[TONYP]

How tight should they be, I tryed to remove it with a breaker bar and can't keep the spindle socket on...can I use a impact wrench on it? /forums/images/graemlins/1zhelp.gif

that sounds waaaay too tight.

it's not a left hand thread?
think I'll spray it with something to help it off, so using an impact wrench won't work...
when I took the locking hubs off it still had oil everywhere and the pads look brand new... /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

It's supposed to be put on with 50 lb/feet of torque to seat the bearings. Then backed off no more than a quarter turn. So it is supposed to be less than 50 but not much.

I couldn't get mine off either because the socket kept falling off, so I used an impact wrench and it came off easily.

didn't have a impact wrench last night so I tryed this morning and it came off right away...
So now I can get this big pig apart and sandblast it then put a coat of paint on it...thanks /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
