Driveshaft nut torque?

[b182]

Hi. Does enybady know what torque should this nut below be tighten? My diff has a lot freeplay and I suppose someone hadn’t tighten this nut correctly while installing gripper lsd. Bearings are ok. Look at the video, please.

130nm is the torque setting. There’s only an image mate, not a video attached.

f**king hell! Can you spin the nut with your fingers?

Nope

Nope

Here’s hoping it’s not been cross threaded then.

Will tightening that nut do anything?

The whole lot is moving when you moved it 😳

The nut isn’t all the way down, so yes it will. But the big problem comes with if the nut has a wear groove where the preload washer sits. If it does, you tighten the nut onto the bearing and not the preload washer.

Guess what happens then.

Yep. Puts the load directly on the bearing and it unwinds itself 👀
