Oops! Front Wheel Bearing Torque
Putting my front wheel bearing (last bearing installed 6-8 years ago) back together .. after using a Hub Tamer to get the bearing out.. and a new one back in.. .
I spaced out momentarily.. . Then.. proceeded to hit the axle nut with 200-230 ft-lbs with the air .. instead of the recommended manual 125 ft-lbs to avoid warping the hub (possibly causing premature bearing failure) .. . My question is.. Shud I leave the peened axle nut on .. as is.. and hope for the best .. OR .. remove the peened axle nut.. and replace it with one placed manually at 125 ft-lbs ?? Thanks, Jim.

Re: Oops! Front Wheel Bearing Torque
I would redo it. The torque recommendation is there for a reason which you stated.

Re: Oops! Front Wheel Bearing Torque
defineately retorque it but some damage may have already happened when you overtorqued the nut. spin the bearing and feel/listen for any roughness from brinelling the bearing race.
