1996 F-250 rear spindle nut torque spec. 10.25/Dana 60 full floater.

It is a ratcheting nut of some sort. Anybody know the recommended torque.

Thanks,

 

not a dana 60. its a sterling 10.25.

look at the link in my signature. if you cant find it let me know and i will look in my manuals.

 

Thank you. I'll check it out.

The pinhead @ ford said it was a dana, I thought otherwise but one would think that they knew what they were talking aboot. Or not!

 

The manual lists a smi floater only. Mine is a full floater. I will keep searching.

 

do me a favor and get the axle code off your door jamb

 

Now your asking alot....I will try to remember to get it tonight.

I know it is a full floater and it came with 4.10 gears in my 96 F-250.

 

nope

1. click section 5 driveline

2. click 05 02B

3. click under description and operation "hub assy full floating"

5. look at the letter next to the part.

If you have a racheting nut this is your torque
BTW: It's a full float D60, the 10.25 Sterling (semi-float) doesn't have a hub nut (c-clips instead)

After tightening hub nut to 75-88 Nm (55-65 lb-ft), Rotate hub occasionally while tightening,
ratchet back eight teeth or notches on the hub nut (1/6 turn).
Eight clicks must be heard in order to have performed the procedure correctly.

NOTE: The hub nut will ratchet as torque is applied.

Remember, the last step of this procedure is to tighten the axle shaft bolts to specification,
after the lug nuts have been tightened.

Lug nuts =170-230Nm (126-170 lb-ft).

Tighten eight axle shaft retaining bolts to 95-115 Nm (70-85 lb-ft).

 

easiest way to tell a 60 from a sterling is the diff cover. a sterling has no plug oni the cover, its on the side close to the pinion. the 60 has a plug very easily seen.
