XtRmn8 570Nm @1800rpm Legacy Donating Member 2,441 Member For: 22y 11m 6d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 26/07/14 10:48 AM Posted 26/07/14 10:48 AM I have a failed front wheel bearing in my FG and was wondering if anyone has a FG shop manual with torque specs for front end suspensions and brake bolts so I can torque everything back up to oem specs?Also does anyone have any experience with non genuine front wheel bearing for an FG, should I be avoiding any particular brands?Going to try and get a pair of bearing tomorrow and change both sides out while I am at it.Cheers

I know the B series single hub nut needs to be done to 300Nm. The FG bearings are a sealed non servicable unit, basically the entire hub that attached to spindle with 3 bolts. Also a bit more than $140 from my local Fraud dealer. Covs on the other hand are always a bit better.Can anyome confirm if the torque specs in the above link are accurate? 126Nm for the hub to spindle bolts.Cheers
