Who's put new hubs on SN spindles?

[Snikt89GT]

Just curious what the best way to do this is. I just got my 94-95 spindles from ebay today, i'm glad I decided to buy new hubs. The ones that came on the spindles are pretty grizzly.

I bought new dust caps, spindle nuts, and DCA hubs. Is it even possible to remove and install new hubs with the spindles off the car? What size is the spindle nut?

How do you guys torque these bolts? I plan on going to 250ft-lbs but my torque wrench is a standard clicking type that goes up to 150. Do I need to borrow someone's big ass torque wrench?

Thanks


*edit* I guess this should be in tech

I did mine at Work where I had access to a larger Torque Wrench I just put it in the Vice. Make sure you use new Nuts and if I remember correct they were 36mm.

Yep, 36MM socket... And I believe the torque is 250?? I know it's around there... but don't quote me.

I know this is an old post, but 250 fl lbs is correct. I just let the impact do the work, I didn't have a tq wrench that big either. They made a huge difference. Car is quiet as new at 100+MPH. The old ones didn't even sound bad either, they were smooth, but the new ones were better.

The Actual Torque Spec is 190-250 Ft Lbs. A Torque Wrench is prefered over an impact Gun as the wrong Torque can screw up those expensive Hubs!
