Drive shaft Bolt - tightening.
Posted: Sun Mar 25, 2018 4:00 pm
OK - anyone got any tips for tightening this ***** bolt that holds drive shaft in wheel hub - the 24mm splined thing. Yes it's a new bolt before the question is asked - as is the hub and the drive shaft.
I've got it to 200NM, I started the angle torque process but that thing move 35 degrees and it ain't going no further - my 1 metre long breaker bar is physically bending (1/2" sq drive).
Even if I use the 1" there are no 12 point sockets in 1" drive size.
Should I care or leave as is because no way I'm getting it any tighter.
