Full floater axle torque specs ????
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 22-Sep-01 AT 11:27 PM (EST)[/font][p]1. While rotating wheel, torque adjusting nut to 120-140 ft. lbs. Back off the nut to obtain 0.001---0.010 inch endplay (1/8-3/8 turn). If nut or locking wedge are damaged or do not allow for proper endplay they should be replaced.
2.Position locking wedge in key way slot, making sure it is not bottomed against the shoulder of adjusting nut.
Install axle shaft and new flange gasket, then install retaining bolts and torque locking bolts to 40---50 ft. lbs.
The book calls for a gasket, but I don't think Ford even sells an axle shaft gasket anymore. You can use high quality silicone sealer in place of the axle shaft gasket.
