Title: Tightening torque of drive shaft to wheet journalismi flange
Post by: polilara on 26 May 2019, 07:54:44

Cannot find the list of torque anymore, where is it? Is the right torque with old bolts just 50 Nm as in guide here or 50Nm +60+15 degrees what is in GM guide. What to use here?

How to edit the Topic, automatic text correction did something strange, I am talking about Wheel Journal Flange.

If it,s driveshaft to hub, Haynes says 50nm. Have you got a Haynes, as it goes on to mention 2 further stages of tightening? HTH.

Hello, thanks for reply

I got this

https://workshop-manuals.com/vauxhall/omega-b/f__rear_axle_and_rear_wheel_suspension/rear_axle_rear_wheel_drive/wheel_bearing/repair_instructions/wheel_hub_and/or_rear_wheel_bearing_remove_and_install_or_replace/

Is it really 50Nm + 60 degrees + 15 degrees with old bolts, or 50 Nm only??

Quote from Haynes, "Driveshaft to hub".
                                Stage1                 50nm
                               Stage2                 Tighten a further 60 deg
                               Stage3                     "        "     "      15deg
Doesn,t mention using new bolts.
