[gorilla_skater]

We'll be doing Hub Bearing Assys and Front Axle U-Joints on my XJ tomorrow. I just want to make sure I have everything I need.

2- Hub Bearing Assys
2 - Spicer 5-760x U-Joints
2 - Cotter pins for the axle nuts

Do I need any other parts?

Damon, we were going to torque the unit bearing bolts to the 75 ft lbs (we almost called you about this- didn't want to bother you) , but we were afraid we would snap the bolts (13mm head).  Draz used the breaker bar to bubba torque them though :wink:

I rented a 250 lb torque wrench to do the spindles ($80 tool for 2 min of work :twisted

No breaker bar used... I didn't torque the hub units, I only did the calipers going back in...  :smile:

I DID "Bubba Torque" KakiRubie's winch to his bumper though...  :mad02:

I forgot - It was the brake caliper bolts that had a spec of 77 lb-ft of torque per the Chilton's.  We were afraid to snap those bolts

Frank you would be correct in not going that tight,,,

here is the correct for the next time...

3) Coat caliper mounting bolts with silicone
grease. Then install and tighten bolts to 15 N·m (11
ft. lbs.).



however I never torque these...  the only really important one is the center hub nut.

Damon - thanks for the input!  The Chiltons/Hanes manual have steered me wrong in the past :swear_mad:
