Reply to "Rear Wheel rotor/bearings"

One thing that was said in Kelly's last post that makes 100% sense is: take it out as is and recheck.  In our shakedown we torque on assembly but do not install the cotter pin.  We retorque after about 100 miles and then pin it.

**IMPORTANT NOTE** Not sure of it was said above but one good thing remember is that all of these torque specs were set in the 50s/60s/70s and based on the parts that were used at that time.  MANY of those things have changed over the years and while they are still probably a good ballpark, they are not gospel.  I'll use today's pitman arms as an example.  Pitman arm pinch bolt factory spec is 51 ft/lbs, however today's castings are made with more gap at the pinch so 51 ft/lbs doesn't begin to tighten it enough to not slip.
