Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing Torque setting on rear hubs?

Just started to do battle with my rear brakes after new ones (EBC ) sat on the shelf for 2 year!!

I was going to try and remove the brake drum but it wasn't having that so started to remove the spline and then it came off but I think that it will be easier with the hub off (when I get a bigger extractor)

What should the torque setting be on the nut that holds on the rear hub. Before removing I checked with my torque wrench and it seemed to go to 120 lb/ft (limit of my wrench)before I tried to undo it.

Apart from split pin any other components I should replace (I already have new set screws for the drums).

Hi Keith - please see PM on a different topic

If you torque to around 120 lbs/ft you should be OK.

Ta, thats the limit of the torque wrench and then it has a last setting called 'F.T.'
