Anyone know what the rear axle nut torque spec is? There is no reference
to it in the factory manual.
Bob
Sure there is. Page 22, Hub Nut 125 ft lbs., or until you can get the
castle nut slot lined up with the hole in the axle for the cotter key. If
you use an anti seize compound on the taper, it will be easier to take
apart next time.

Thanks for the replies Tom and Charlie. I have a 1964 version of the workshop
manual and it does not have a page 22 or the hub nut spec. I checked the
version on the Tigers United and sure enough, there it was.
I anti-siezed everything when I assembled the car back in '88 and had no
problems taking anything apart (with the help of Dan Walters' ultimate hub
puller that I made from the article posted on the United site).
