40 Ford rear axle nut
I have seen torque specs as high as 220ft/lbs for the rear axle nut. What is the correct torque on the rear axle nut?

Re: 40 Ford rear axle nut
You'll be fine stopping at 200ft/lbs.

Re: 40 Ford rear axle nut
This information was posted on Bill B's Techno website years ago. This is the specification that I use, but some will torque to a lower number, possibly because they do not have a torque wrench that will read this high.
The 'V8 Times', Sept/Oct 98 Issue, pages 46 and 48, quotes several Ford Service Letters and later corrections. The final direction on tightening axle nuts reads: "tighten nut 356074-S to 200 to 220 foot pounds; then continue tightening to the next castellation providing final resultant torque does not exceed 275 foot pounds."
