Torque settings

Torque settings for Suspension

Caliper bracket to upright: 45-50 ft/lbs

Disc to the Hub: 30-34 ft/lbs

Hub Nut: Pack grease into bearing. Torque this nut up to 27 ft/lbs of torque and check for full and free rotation of the hub, it should be quite difficult to turn at this point. Now slacken the nut off by 90 degrees. This gives the hub endfloat the required 0.001-0.005 inches of movement.
