What is torque for drive axle to wheel hub?
Under “Front Axle Tightening Specifications”, the torque specification for drive axle to wheel hub is listed as 200 Nm (148 ft-lb) plus 180° (1/2 turn). I’m also not seeing any distinction currently in eBahn between hex or 12 point.
What should axle torque be on Mark IV?
I know this for the Mark V’s but the axle nut on the Mark IV calls for an initial 148 ft-lb tightening torque, followed by rolling the wheel and ending with a final tightening of 37 ft-lb + 60 degrees. The final 37 ft-lb is okay but that extra 60 degrees in really, really, really, tough.
How can you tell if a trailer hub needs to be replaced?
If the hub slid right off you should be in good shape, but you will still want to double-check the area where the bearing and the seal sit on the spindle. Again, use the fingernail test. Simply run a fingernail across the spindle; if it catches, you will want to replace the spindle. Spend some extra time on the spindle where the seal rides.
What’s the torque of an axle bolt on a Mk5?
The torque depends on the style of bolt. P/N WHT005437 is the current bolt and the one I used for this job and every other axle R&R I’ve done on MK5’s in the past few years. The 70nm + 90 is for the bolt with the ribs as the ribs bite into the hub assembly.

How do you change front wheel bearing hubs?
Remove brake disc from the wheel bearing hub. For vehicles equipped with ABS, disconnect the wheel speed sensor connector from the steering knuckle. To do this, use a 5 mm Allen key (or socket), remove the set screw and then, holding the cable retaining bracket, twist and gently pull on the sensor connector end. Don’t lose the sealing Oring. 6.
What should the EndPlay be for final wheel bearing torquing?
The adjustment nut is then loosened 1/6 to 1/4 turn, and locked in place with a new cotter pin. As a rule, endplay should be about 0.001 to 0.005 inches. Many vehicles require the wheels to be on the ground for final wheel bearing torquing to OEM specifications.
Can a torque wrench be used for wheel bearing installation?
OEM and bearing manufacturers always recommend using a torque wrench for installation. During removal, an impact wrench can damage the axle nut threads and shock the CV joints. It can also create a false sense of security when adjusting a nut or bolt, which may be under or over torqued. This can leave a hub assembly susceptible to failure.
