Rear drum nuts torque?

[gothstone]

Had to pull the rear drum / hub / spindle setup to install a camber/toe shim. Anyone know the torque value for those 4 nuts? Can't find it in the Chiltons. This is on my 2006, 4 door, manual trany in case there are different values.

I didn't know there was a chiltons manual. Id say just a little less than wheel torque

Don't know if they ever printed it, but you can access online for free with an autozone account. Or you can get a slightly better version on chiltonlibrary.com through your local library account. Haven't paid for a Chiltons in years.

Finally found it! 21 ft lbs if anyone ever needs to know.

21 seems a bit low givin the placement of the piece.

Ya, thats what I found in the factory service manual, but when I went to torque them it seams ridiculous. Ended up putting about 125 on them. Nowhere close to breaking bolts, just couldn't get more force on them with the springs in my way.

I just torqued mine on till I couldn't torque anymore. Lol. they have serrated lock nuts so there's no big worry of them coming loose
