Hi. I have tried different sites to obtain the torque for the front wheel bearing on a 1994 960 and ended up confused. Anyone know the spec? Thanks, John Beck

 

This is from Brickboard.com

Install the hub and torque the hub nut to 42 ft-lb (57Nm) while rotating the hub. Loosen the hub nut half a turn and tighten only using your fingers (nominal torque of 1.1 ft-lb or 1.5 Nm). Tighten the nut if required to install a new cotter pin in the nearest hole. Then install the dust cap. [Jay Simkin] For the later 1988+ series hubs, tighten the axle nut slowly, so that axial play just disappears (Volvo Manual). Then tighten the nut to 73.8 pound/feet (100 Nm). Then, angle tighten to 45 degrees, using a protractor. Install the new cap, and you're done.

 

Thanks for the reply."Angle tighten to 45 degrees" - Does that mean adding on an additional 1/8 turn after 73.8lbs.? If so, that's quite a load.

 

My 95 960 says 65 ft lbs on the dust cover.

 

What site did u refer to? I am trying to obtain the torque for the front wheel bearing for my car also. I have visited several sites too but they are very inconsistent.
