Title: torque value of hub body to rotor bolts?
Post by: AJMBLAZER on May 29, 2005, 01:22:53 PM

Can anyone give me the torque value for the little 12mm bolts that hold the hub body to the rotor?

Got 1 of the Tracker hubs on the Grand Vitara, now to do the other... 8)

I took a look at the Haynes Manual and, as expected, found nothing.  My '96 GM Tracker FSM (page 4C9) indicates 25Nm or us Metrically-Challenged USAens 18 ft. lbs.

Hope this helps!

Thanks.  I've now likely got one of the few Grand Vitaras with manual hubs anywhere. 8)

my manual hubs come off everytime i change oil, or rotate tyres, about every 5000KM or so, and i just do them up tight, sometimes if i feel like it, i use the tube gasket maker thing, but only so it seals a bit better. water gets in through the switch anyway.

i just do them up tight, and she's all go. do over tighten, or you'll just strip the bolt and have a nice time trying to get it off. (experience)

I got them first :P (joking8))

For Warn hubs its 18-25 ft ld. I'd think it would be a good reference...

Yeah yeah, rub it in.

Mine has Aisin hubs from Suzuki though.
