The torque for the nut ends up around 400ft/lbs. The nut is torqued to 180ft/lbs, then do the 60 degree technique. My other torque wrench only goes to 150ft/lbs and you are not supposed to max out torque.

 

That's basically what I did.

 

Give me a date and time, I have a rotating breaker bar (bought specifically for torquing axle bolts on Audis) , torque wrench and the socket needed. I can order nuts also if needed.

Have you ordered axle nuts yet? Either way, let me know so i could get a couple and have this done as well.

Thanks for thinking of the community and setting this up

 

I can get them for 3 bucks each

This ever happen? I'm down to join in!

 

I've done this twice in the past and have some additional info for you all. Make sure to re-grease the splines and backs of the axle nuts. Using the OEM Nut is perfectly OK, no need to buy another unless you destroy the OEM somehow. I have not had any slips when working on mine and I used a 3/4 socket Breaker bar and floor jack pole extender Easy job to do.

 

This will be done at Mase's dyno day on June 8th. If you want new nuts post up. Some of the people on the prior list have already done this, so I want an updated list.

 

I would like to do this josh and need the nut.

 

Josh, You guys are more then welcome to use my Ap1 wheels (that are on my car) as long as im back from deployment.
I'm ordering new rims anyway almost immediately after I get back.
I'm suppose to be back No later then june 5th so ill let you know if I can make it. I retorqued my Axle nuts but
not 100% sure if it was done correctly. Ill order some axle nuts.
