torque of nuts on brakes
Getting ready to take off brake backing plate assemblies and haven't seen a torque spec for the five nuts used to hold these onto the spindle. Given that they are 3/8", would I be correct to assume 30-50 ftlbs? I will set my torque wrench on 40ft/lbs and try to tighten one of the nuts on the existing old plates just to "sort of verify" my thinking. This, of course, asssumes they were torqued correctly to start with. Thanks for your thoughts. John
