    What would be the proper torque for the axle shaft nuts? 190 ft-lbs? 2004 Freightliner airliner 40,000 lbs axle. TIA 20200713_160301.jpg

    180bftlbs for 5/8" studs fine thread. 10 lbs plus or minus proly not a big deal.

    Then a slight turn to get the flat side to where the shiny chrome cover fits nice and snug :)
