I need a little help: front hub torque spec or procedure

kellys~hotrods · 07-30-2010, 01:15 AM

The people I bought my G 14 from thought it would be neat to run it in the sand without the plastic caps on the hubs. Bad idea, as one hub bearing is now shot. Thankfully though I recieved a package today with two new bearing sets and a new cap to replace the mising one (thanks Mike from MMT for all your help!!!). Now I need to know if the hub gets reassembled with a simple torque spec or if there is a sequence. Does anyone know the right way to assemble the hubs on a Yamaha G 14?

If a normal wheel bearing I just do them by feel. ....edit-- none of this is needed they are sealed just tighten them up.

These are sealed bearings, no seals outside the bearings. I could do it by feel, but then I wouldn't get to use that fancy torque wrench now would I? lol. Can anyone help here?

How did the sand get in a sealed bearing?

My bad the G9 also has sealed. They just put a spacer between them and you tighten it up. Manual shows 66ft lbs for the G9.

I've never had to do one, do have to put kingpins in mine have done those.

Lug nuts are 64ft lbs...that is 92 and 88 Nm.

That sounds closer to what I expected

(p.s. i am an engineering student, can convert ft. lbs. to Nm. lol)

Newton meter.
It tells you when you have listened to too

Newton meters is out of the G9 manual, not my words or conversion
