I am about to change my drivers sidedriveshaft axle on a 2001 nissan sentra and wanted to know what to torque the nut too? If anyone can look it up I would appreciate it!

Thanks, Matt

im prty sure w. that set up there isnt a cotter pin... i think its a tq it down and call it good deal... usualy the ones with pins are for free floating hubs/spindles...

if the nut is a locking type with tabs that you smack over with a chisel...you need to purchase a new nut but the torque spec is 145 ft lbs to 200 ft lbs on a nissan sentra... the reman axle should come with a new nut

thanks guys, yeah it came with a new nut! shouldnt be that bad, appreciate the info!

dimebag

told ya just put that ****er on w. the impact, lol... unless you like torquing things to 200 ftlbs by hand, lol


yano i think the vast majorty of mechanics on this site... are in the 5.0 section, lol

haha yeah Im going to just use my impact gun on that booger...
but first I have to get the old one off...

I got everything apart but the bolt on the a arm under the axle... me and my dad messed with it for about an hour and gave up because it got dark... is there a special tool to use or some secret? very frustrating lol

dimebag

hm... im trying to think about what you mean... arent you just replacing the half shaft? not able to get the old one out w. out undoing the bolt your talking about? honestly i cant picture it right now... all im thinkin of is a ford taurus... because i have one apart at work right now that i gotta put back together tomorrow, lol... pic???

I can go take pictures,give me 10 minutes,its kinda dark... but I will get them
