Just replaced rear tire/wheel assy. The dealer that mounted the tire said to torque rear axle at 90 Foot Lbs., while I recall someone here cautioned not over tighten. I don't have a manual for ref. Can anyone provide the correct torque spec.?

Thanks, Rusty

Rear Axle Torque Spec.

Guess I should'a checked the little owners manual. It shows 52 Ft. Lbs. I began to question what the dealers mechanic told me when at 80 lb. it's seemed excessive. Guess I'd better buy another cotter pin and back it off a few clicks. Grrr..

Thanks, Rusty

Service manual shows 47 ft lbs for rear axle nut.
