Hi.
I have to replace front wheel hub on my S40, 2005.
There is only one bolt holding bearing hub with axle together and I can not find proper torque value for it. The dealer give me strange numbers "first 14f/lb and than 81f/lb and did not exlpain why two values.
Wonder if any one has instructions for replacement.
Just finished rear hubs and it was not very comlicated but the front is different.

 

dont kno much about volvos but from experiance with other cars it might just be an initial torque to break in the bearing (torque it and spin the hub around by hand a little bit) to make sure everything is seated right then crank it to full torque rating.

just my guess it might be wrong. when i did the front bearings and hubs on my jetta i just went straight to 90 ft/lbs and have had no issues

 

Thanx.
It makes sense. I did the bearing and it works fine. Still have one more to do asap.
The torque values I have are still way off. The bolt is only M10 and if I put 80ft/lbs on it it would make a drill bit out of it. Just used my judgement and experience.

 

hmm thats weird? i thought u were describing an axle nut. holds the axle and hub together? but M10 is way small for that so now im not sure if u were talking about a front axle nut than 80ft/lbs is about right
