XtRmn8 570Nm @1800rpm Donating Members 2,441 Member For: 20y 7m 3d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 26/07/14 10:48 AM Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
