Rear Axle nut torque

frank74lMember

Hi All,

I am hoping to tap into the more experienced and knowledgeable about rear wheel hub and retaining nut. I have read all of the service manuals and tech articles about replacing the rear rotors and can not identify the torque setting on the retaining nut.

Does anybody know the torque setting for the hub retaining nut? I understand it is high at about 300 ft-lb.

Thank you in advance.

yes 300. Iput a 3 ft pipe pn a breaker bar and then stood on it to get it.
You can also rent a torque multiplier to do it with.

My old Audi cs5000 turbo quatro balancer torqued at 350 ft lbs the dealer was nice enough to loan the torque wrench if I promised to bring it right back. so check your local Audi dealer. That is if you don't want to do the calculation.
