Anybody know or have access to the manual to check what tension the front axle nuts are meant to be at?

Had a dodgy wheel bearing that I've replaced and just about to re-assemble when I found out I forgot to count the number of threads exposed before I removed the nut previously.

Thanks

181ft/lbs if it is manual trans axle--- 134 for AT equipped.

Would suggest going 134 first and slow increaments to achieve 181

Awesome, thanks for the quick response - yep its AT and I'll go up in a 3 stage increment.

What a PITA these wheel bearings are, especially when you only have a small 12T press and the spindle doesn't fit.

Is there a book for all the nut tensions for CL9? I wouldn't mind one myself. Looking to put Strut bar and RSB but not sure how tight. I usually have tight enough (anything < 10mm), tight (11 - 16mm) and FT (17mm+).
