Can someone (maybe with a Ford Ka Haynes manual) tell me the torque
setting for the rear hub retaining nut. (The big one in the middle of
the hub)

Thanks in advance!!!!

Sounds good.

Was about to say 350Nm, but that's a transit rear hub nut :-/
Certainly 235Nm sounds about right.

About 1.7 kilogrunts.  Broadly equivalent to tightening up with all 
available arm-muscle power using a breaker bar, then putting a bit of 
scaffold pole over the breaker bar and jumping on it twice, once for the 
torque, one to nip it up a bit more.

four and a fart.

Only if you're a real wimp. It's 173ftlbs, which if you're using a 2'
breaker bar is only a little under 90lbs. That's way way less than
standing on it, let alone jumping on it, unless you only weigh about as
much as an averageish twelve year old.

PC Paul (me@home.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying

No, no, no.

That's 'merkin grunts.

In Imperial grunts, it's four, two farts and an "ooohyafucker".

Thanks Simon. That info saved me having to leave the job unfinished
'till Halfords opened today. Effectively saved me half my Sunday.

I owe you.
