Default Torque

I've just looked in my Haynes manual:

Rear hub nut

250 - 290 Nm (195 - 214 lbf ft)

That's enormous!

Compared to cylinder head bolts which are about 70 Nm (50 lbf ft)

Ummm... maybe my two foot breaker bar will be a little too short for the job.

PS. Today I had a look around for a 41 mm socket, none at Machine Mart, local tool place or (last resort) Halfords so bought one of eBay, £10-00 and I'll probably only ever use it on this job so a bit expensive. Looking at the torque it's tightened up to I'm defo. going to leave the rear suspension assy. in situ. untill I've slackened off the nuts.

Still made progress though today, got the engine and gear-box out of donor and the whole grubby assembly is now on the garage floor. Donor looking a sorry state.
