Hi guys,
I bought some hub nuts a while ago on a group buy, im contemplating fitted them, but whats exactly involved?, i may get my garage to fit them, how long would it take?, and is it difficult?, and would it solve the clunking problem thats reared its head now it cold and wet?

cheers

 

take old ones off, put new ones on .. 5 mins a side.

 

cheers ben, do they need to be tightened to a specific torque rating though?

cheers

 

yes .. have a look in the Service Manual for full details.
Page 517, 16-16.

245Nm
181lb-ft

 

search for a post by jaeger where he gives a step by step guide with pics

also search for a thread by Aquilaeagle where he gives you a guide on what not to do

 

You will need a 220 lb ft tq wrench, a centre punch. And a breaker bar.

The first item stumps most people.

 

Don't take any advice from Budgie on this one though...

 

Now,now!

 

They are FT!!
