Subject:      Torque specs for wheel bearing housing (rear)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed

Hi,

I am trying to make sure I re-assemble my (rear) wheel bearing job 100% correctly as it does seem kind of important to keep the wheels on the vehicle :)

I took the wheel bearing housing off the rear trailing arm to be able to clean it up well and to make it easier to get the darn retaining spring clip out.

It took my impact wrench (560 ft lbs) with my air compressor cranked right up to get the 4 bolts off that connect the wheel bearing housing to the trailing arm.

I went to check the torque specs for re-assembly and sadly, the Bentley doesn't have them that I can find. Looking at page 42.4, Diagram 42-619, it has the torque for everything but that.

On page 46.6 it's shown again with the brakes, but no specs there either.

I've tried to find it to no avail :(

Does anyone have a pointer to where I can find this information?

Thanks, Steve Williams
