FFS, if google and that article in the link says 29nm, then it looks like 29nm is good. When my Ducati manual says 45nm for the swing arm chain adjuster, I don't do it to a million nm cause folk think it's a bit low, I just roll with the 45nm cause it is correct.... Just Sayin.....
well, considering an m10 wheel bolt is about 40-50nm that looks like at least m16 and when using a contact bearing. i wouldn't be stressed putting it up 60-70nm.
Use a ring spanner to tighten, rather than a socket. Ring spanners are sized lengthways as well as for diameter, so they automatically limit the torque according to the size of the bolt. Nip it up gently but firmly and you shouldn’t be too far out.
Look, he doesn't know what answer he want's or, it appears, what he is asking so don't complicate it anymore
very few things in life are more complicated than a wheel still attached to its bearing flange coming through yer windscreen. just trying to put his mind at ease.
Never have I seen something so simple made so over complicated by so many folk ?? Can't believe this ain't done yet, could have built the fecking trailer from scratch in this time.
How does it spin with 50ft lbs? I have not seen a locknut setup on trailer bearings, only an axle nut with cotter pin to secure it. Also not sure about using thread lock with a locknut. I also don't typically reuse locknuts in critical applications as they are compromised when removed. Just my opinion.
That's good to know. When I take things apart I take notes or at least try to remember details to reference when reassembling. Lawnmower blade nuts are usually torqued to at least 50 ft. lbs. and take some effort to loosen. Trailer bearing nuts (those I've worked on) take very little effort.
