208ft/lb torque wrench - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

sur4die · 12-26-2005, 12:31 PM

i'm fixing my brothers Contour this week while he is home from school. the front wheel bearing has gone bad and we are replacing it. once we get the new bearing pressed we have to torque the new drive axle nut down to 208 ft/lb.

let me say that again, 208 ft/lb....

my wrench only goes up to 150, so i was wondering if someone with a more capable wrench would be willing to help me out probably some time next week. lunch and/or beer would of course be provided.

what paper work says that?
I'd say just put the impact gun on that bad boy!

with something like that i dont think you can really overtorque it. if i were you i'd see what 150 feels like, then just get out a breaker bar and lean on it a good amount harder. of course i could be completely wrong...

I'll check and see wat my torque wrench is capable!

i took a double take too, but here is the article, and it's the same in my chilton's manual and in the how-tos on contour.org.

Mine goes to 240. Let me know if you can get to Cherry Hill to grab it, since I work until around 7 every night.
