94 Van Diemen hub nut torque spec?

[cunn5]

I have a 94 Van Diemen and have replaced the front wheel bearings. I need the torque spec for the nut which holds the axle, hub and centering spacer in place.

Not owning a VD, but every FC I have owned called for 140 ft-lbs.

Thank you

115

I Have to agree with Steve Demeter. We had 2 Reynard FC's on the track for 3 years. Reynards and every other FC we saw at the track used 140 or 145 Lbs/Ft of torque.

115 pounds sounds right for FF's. Don't ask me why FF's were so much less.

He is asking for the torque to hold the stub axle to the bearing, not hold the wheel on.

Right not the wheel nut but the nut that draws the bearings, hub and what all else together.

Always want that one to be higher than the wheel nut so that torquing the wheel nut does not relieve the tension holding everything else together.

The '94 had a beefy front stub, 145 lbs for the inner will be just fine.

I was mistaken.......115 wheel nut, bearing is a different idea

That, IMO, is very important. I use 120 for the wheel nuts, and 180 for the bearing nuts on my Citation.
