Can't find my manual- PLEASE HELP!
Replacing my front wheel hubs on a 2000 F-150 7700 4x4 w/ 4 wheel ABS, 5.4 auto. Need the following:
1. Torque spec for the LARGE nut that holds on the rotor, hub, etc.
2. Torque specs for the 3 bolts that hold on the front wheel HUBS

That should do it.

THANKS!

 

the big nut is 188-254 ft lbs..

 

personally, i prefer to torque the axle nut to at least 225 ft lbs. loctite this mother down too. the three smaller ones that mount the hub to the knuckle i am not sure of.

 

just put the impact gun on high and have at it ahaha

 

I do the axle at 215 ft lb. The three should be 95 ft lb., but try getting a torque wrench on them, can't really. Just hang on 'em with the wrench you took them off with.

 

I think when I did mine I did the axle at 215, and I just put a good amount of grunt into the other 3

 

Very helpful info regarding the torque specs. The question I have regards the tightening procedure. I used to have an older model Explorer. On that truck, it called for torqueing the nut down to x amount of ft. lbs, then backing off, then resetting the torque. Does that apply here, OR is it to be torqued down once and done? Thanks- my Haynes Repair Manual doesn't spell this out to me.

 

So what are talking about then ? Car, Truck or bicycle ??? You need year model or fill your info in top right corner and/or -Sig.

 

You are right sir- I liked your comment actually..got to know the rules of the road if you're going to get on it- right! Kinda new around here so I'm not clear as how to update that information..while I'm working on it though here is what I have - 2000 Ford Expedition- i realize this is the F150 board, but I believe ifor this job they are similar enough for the procedure to be the same..AND you guys seem willing to share if you have the answer. Thank you..

 

Which engine, there are 3 ?

 

It's the 5.4 L engine..
