yes the torque is correct.
The tapered rollers when assembled in an unworn hub have about .001" preload, they should feel a little tight when torqued up to spec, but not jerky when turned by hand.

| Post subject: | Rear wheel bearing torque |
I've just replaced the rear wheel bearings on one side of my machine. My Haynes manual says the retaining nut torque should be 81Nm / 60lbft, but that feels REALLY tight. Is that the right torque??? The bearings I found when I dismantled the hub were ball rollers with a spacer between. The bearing kit I have is just two taper rollers with no spacer, but the inner races are extended to take up the gap the spacer filled before. Am I doing something wrong? |

And as a side note, a lot of torque wrenches dont work backwards (left hand thread), so don't overtighten it!

I had the wrench problem yesterday. Its weird its got a left and right switch but doesnt click.I just tightened it up then backed it of until it would move at roughly the same time as it clicked |

Cool. Thanks for that chaps. The hub does spin smoothly, but it seemed too tight for a bearing. It'll run in, I guess. Regards Jamie |
