Just checking, what size is the castle nut on the rear hub???? 46mm???

IIRC yes..
ANd 350ftlbs torque......... yes really.....

Does your torque wrench go that high

a piece of scaffolding pole and two fat blokes.is the usual way of torquing them up...

Nut with ten slots is 500 Nm= 678 ftlbs = Three fat blokes

pah.you must only know thin fat blokes...

Steady on, three fat blokes perhaps but...... 500 NM is only 369 lbs/ft.

Which is only 184.5 lbs on the end of a two foot pole,
or 92.25 lbs at the end of a four foot pole,
and even I can tip the scales over 92 lbs.

I should hope so at six and three quarter stone...

but a fat bloke can apply the continuous torque..(no jumping)

kev,
I could pose for the ' before ' in the Charles Atlas advert, always did get the sand kicked in my face, and ( Fortunately) never got the girl.
Currently, 11 stone... 154lbs ...70 kgs... fully clothed, soaking wet.

Tighten 'till it strips the thread and then back off to the nearest split pin hole we used to (jokingly) say!!

Thanks mate have pm'd you back!

Do the rear castle nuts undo normaly or is the N/S a left hand thread? I will have to take mine into a garage where they do wagon tires, and get them to get this off by air, as i have broken 3 T bars?

the n/s isn't a left hand thread.
