Sierra rear hubs. assembly
Hi I have Sierra rear disc brake hubs. That I need to re assemble. When I dismantled I was suppressed to find there was no shims or collapsible bush
type of spacing in order to get the correct torque setting when reassembling.
So my question is when I am re assembling in order to get the correct free fitting is their a torque setting to use? Or is the spigot nut a use once
only nut? Thanks Bryan

Don't really know the answer to your question as my brother replaced the bearings in the hub after we stripped it down. The only thing I can
say is that when I received the new bearing kit it came with two new nuts. Left and right thread. Hope that is some help.

They're supposed to be one use only. I've used my old one's until I'm certain nowt needs to come off again then I have new
ones to go on and be torqued up.

yes there is a torque, I'll look it up later if no one else does. (its in the haynes books)
And the nuts are one use only (would you trust a used nyloc to keep the wheels on your car ? ) but you sould get a new left and right with each
bearing set so you'll have 4 new nuts anyway
(I'm sure I've got some spare and other people are bound to have them aswell)
other than that its only the left/ right handed threads that help them stay on the car (make sure you get them the right way round  )

279Nm I believe is the the correct answer. OR in mechanic speak F tight (and then a bit more. )
