** please note
- "Grey nut" is referring to a nut that has a "shield" of sorts on the outside of it.The "black nut" is a whole flanged nut. 284 ft lbs is a ridiculous amount for these bearings period. This time around I only did 140 ft lbs. Take this under advisement, but I would NOT tighten these past 150 PERIOD...
Thread Sizes- Axle Spindle- 15/16"-14 thread- currently looking into this odd size?
- FHHCS (Flange Hex Head Cap Screw) the three that hold the hub on, M12 X 1.75 pitch X 50mm Lg. Fastenal Part No 0161846 - note 10Pcs.
