pmacFTO Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Hi guys, I have a newage GX (AWD) now ( I used to own Irish Al's old newage WRX) and not been posting for a while but I need help. I am supposed to be leaving with the family for a holiday in the Lake District tomorrow and my mechanic has left everything till the VERY last minute but he has finally done the rear wheel bearing that will allow us to pass the re-test for the MOT (runs out while we are away...). He has just left but asked me to find out what torque settings to use on the rear wheel bearing as he says it needs to be the correct amount or it could seize. Any info would be great as I am literally ready to phone and hire a car in the morning in case we don't get it done in time for the re-test. Ta!
arch Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Pretty sure its 137Lb/ft for both rear disc and rear drum brake assemblies.
pmacFTO Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 Cheers Arch. Apparently Subaru had so many probs with the original bearings they approved a new modified version and the mechanic said something about some tapering and pre-load and the settings we found for the car in Autodata was 186 which seemed way too tight. He has put it to 126 for now and the drag feels the same as the other wheel. He doesn't want to tighten anymore tho until we get a definite number... Thanks for the quick answer tho m8!
