  What is the recommended torque for the rear axle nut, securing the rear hub/brake drum to the axle shaft. Also, if you hit the torque but can't insert the cotter pin do you back off or torque to a higher value so the cotter pin can be inserted? Thanks for any info.

  200 ft/lbs. Back off to nearest slot.
