Hey Ken,
This etrailer axle # e32GR uses 1/2" diameter lug nuts. For those size lug nuts and the 8-12" wheels that are used with this axle the recommended torque specification is 75-85 foot lbs.
What kind of trailer are you wanting to replace the axle on?

Hey Ken, how did things go with the 1/2-inch lug nuts on your trailer axle? Did the torque range of 75–85 ft-lbs work well for your setup? Your update could make it easier for others replacing a similar axle.
