Just ordered a torque wrench so I will just do the bolts up tight until it arrives and then torque them all up

I buzz them up with the airgun on it's lowest setting, that's approx hand ratchet tight.
Might get flamed but I don't use torque wrench for any axle components!

Get it on as best you can them tap it on with hammer and screwdriver

Was a right pain. Got everything back together and was about to put the seal retaining ring on at the back of the ball and realised I had put it on the wrong way round . Just got a few things to reassemble in the morning and then should be done. Then I have the other side to do :thumbdown:

+1 Experience is the key to knowing how tight something should be.
I rarely use a torque wrench, Head bolts mainly.

Plus, using quality fasteners gives you much more scope for safe air gunning.
