Question about a nut

[its55]

Am I correct in reading that the big nut gets torqued to 73 lb. ft?  Thought it'd me more ...

 

 

[Tommy]

So it seems. Same info here too.

It's not a huge thread.  So I guess that could be right.

 

I've had those work loose, though, and chow things up.  Me, I'd probably overtorque it to around a hundred.

 

because I'm a brute.

Thanks. Did they work loose even with the locking plate installed?

Brutes don't need no stinkin lock plates.

The tool that IE sells for holding the flange in place works really good

I made this out of angle iron to remove it and it should work to replace it.  It's about 3 ft. long...

That's what I'm thinking ...

Yup, lock plate, red loc- tite, and it STILL came loose.  

 

But was racekar.

Just as crazy as ALL them other nuts on this forum. Y'All know who you are.

Y'all dont just hit it with about four ugga-duggas?? 

76ft-lb makes sense though considering it's a thin nut. It's not a full nut where I would expect say double that.
