Can anyone let me know the correct torque value to use for the bolts on the hub-block. I'm intending to shim between the hub-bar and block to address shake on 23' DW's.Thank-youDave

Howdy Dave I would need to know, the diameter, length, thread pitch, and grade of the bolts. Also the grade of the nut and washer.RegardsSonnyIntelligence is not a privilege,it is a gift and should be used for the good of mankind.

Hi Sonny,We have an AN5 bolt with a nylock nut, my undersling is 3 1/2 inches so maybe adding a couple more inches to that gets the length. Its a standard DW hub-bar setup. Not quite the precision you requested [:I] but maybe enough? Dave

Howdy Dave If I understand it right your talking about the teeter bolt,if so you wont need to tourque it. If you do it will bind the head. Just run the nut on till it contacts and the bolt has zero end play.it would be better in my opinion not to use the elastic lock nut but use a castelated nut and a cotter pin.I hope that helpsRegardsSonnyPSA bolt like that would tourque at 35-40 ftlbs or 47.4-54.2 N-m.Intelligence is not a privilege,it is a gift and should be used for the good of mankind.

Hi Dave I just got a PM that told me what bolt we are discussin.[:I] If they are the bolts that hold the hub bar to the teeter block and are an5 (516") they will tourque at 25-30 ftlbs and the elastic lock nuts are good. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I think what may have threw me of is that the ones in mine are an4 (14")CheersSonnyIntelligence is not a privilege,it is a gift and should be used for the good of mankind.
