Topic: 1935 Ford rear axle nut torque

  Hey guys. Can you advise me of the recommended lbs/ft setting of rear axle/brake drum hub nut? I have checked all is smooth & will check the snug fit after a few miles. Cheers, Peter, AU.

  G'Day, Peter! One foot is your answer... One foot on a cheater bar, the other foot just hangin' out.

  The recommended torque was 200#. Yep, sounds like a lot, but in reality, it isn't.
Afraid of breaking the axle? If 200# breaks your axle, great timimg. Better now than when your tooling down the road.
