So I'm swapping out my axles tomorrow and I need to know how many ft lbs of torque to tighten the axle nut to.
It's the big one on the end that requires the 30mm socket. If anyone can please let me know, I would greatly appreciate it!

Haynes says 140flbs and toyota says 159 flbs, those using a rattle gun, just use a torque wrench, your bearing will last longer!

well with hand tools we were able to get one off so far. didn't have the time to get to my car. we used a 3/8 set, and small breaker bar, and a six foot breaker bar put over the smaller one lol

WOW, why would you use a 3/8 tool set to take off an axle nut? hell we used a 1/2 in breaker bar to get mine off and ended up breaking 2 of them
