Just going to change my rear wheel bearings. I am confused on the torque of the large driveshaft hub nut. It says 330N/M.... plus 1/3 turn.? Is this correct as thats around 243 foot pound ...plus 1/3 turn? Seems a hell of a lot.
It's a sh*ton, that's why the forum is full of posts about how hard they are to get off. I just tighten them down until I can't, they've stayed on(for now).
I do them up to maximum of my ½ torque wrench, which is 230Nm, then switch over to my ¾ breaker bar and trolley jack handle to give them a final tweak.
With torque that high, a few Nm either way is of no concern, providing the threads aren't damaged by over tightening.
