Ditto JoeK. It's unfortunate that many Model "A" rear hubs have been deformed by torquing the axle nut way too much. There are many publications specifying torques of 100 lbs-ft plus on the basis of the thread size and a SAE chart. They have no idea how high the hoop stress in the hubs gets at these torque levels. I doubt that the factory production torque was anywhere near 100 lbs-ft.
