What are the Torque Specs for Installing 12 Inch Electric Brake Assemblies
Updated 07/05/2017 | Published 07/02/2017
Question:
What do you recommend for torque settings on AKEBRK-7-SA bracket nuts. Your excellent video did not mention a ft/lb recommendation. Also what would you torque the wheel nuts to on 7K axles?
asked by: Robert B
Expert Reply:
Dexter recommends to torque the mounting nuts for 12 inch brake assemblies, like # AKEBRK-7-SA, between 25-50 foot pounds.
As for lug nut torque specs use the following information:
If you have a steel wheel with a 1/2 inch stud you would use 90-120 ft/lbs.
Steel with 9/16 inch stud 120-140 ft/lbs.
Aluminum with 1/2 inch stud 90-100 ft/lbs.
Aluminum with 9/16 inch stud 120-140 ft/lbs.
