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.

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.
