Technical Torque settings - Axle retaining nut

[everson38]

Hey gey have a GP TJET sporting 2009.

Do anyone know the front wheel axle nut torque settings plz in (Nm).

Thanks

Hi Emmerson,

here you go ...

BTW, it's the torque + angle method !

Hey Bern

Thanks for stepping in. I'll be honest I understand the little axle nut diagram but I do no get the table? I only work in Nm and then I know you turn it a further 90 degrees or what ever the case maybe
But DaM??? I have never gotten. Do you happen to know what the table is saying in Nm?

Hi Emmerson,

daNm = deca Newton-meter or 10 Nm, wich is almost 1 kg/m, the old unit. So basically the table says torque between 66 and 73 Nm, then one sixth of a turn...
Use an online converter and you'll get the figure in lbs/ft ...

Is it just me or do these values sound low I heard that these axle nuts were on super tight but 73nm don't sound too bad.to me. I'm just talking here.

You definitely don't want to "over-preload" any bearing !

The relatively low torque is just to "bring the parts" against each other, the actual preload is done with the extra angle (60°)...

I'd be curious to read the final torque, anyone done that ?
