I don't have my car today to check.

Anyone know the socket size I need for the axle nut on the SVT hubs?

I figure when I switch tires tomorrow at the track I will try and make sure they are tight.

Thanks

seanmc will know - gary retorqued his after every session.

i want to say 32mm but i cant be sure. i could go take a wheel off my car, but work just called and might need me to drive (the hour) back to the office to fax like 4 papers somewhere. BAH

This comes from Steve Powell at Tousley Ford:

Torque notes:

Front hub: 32 mm nut; torque spec is 316 NM (233 lb. ft.)

Rear hub: 30 mm nut; tightening is a 2-stage process:
- first tighten to 35 NM (25 lb. ft.)
- then, while rotating the hub in the opposite direction when tightening, tighten to 235 NM (173 lb. ft.)

On Gary's car, we always set the torque to big ****in impact turned all the way up. But yeah, it is a 32mm.
