Default NoVA Rear Axle Nut Re-torque

I've got a squeaky wheel bearing and need to re-torque my axle nuts. Does anyone in NoVA have the tools to do it? I need to do it soon before the bearing and hub get too damaged

I need:
3/4" drive breaker bar
36mm socket
something to un-stake and stake the nut
high-temp grease (optional - I can buy some)

I can do it if you can come to my shop in Fairfax.

I'm in Ashburn. You could stop by Sunday morning if that works for you. Shoot me a PM.

We ran into some tool issues, but glad we got it done. The torque required for this is rediculously high!

Yep. Torque was too much for a 1/2" ratchet, but a 1/2" breaker bar did the job just fine.
