Hi all,
I'm in the process of replacing the rear brake drums and have been checking the torque setting for the hub (stub) nut. Citroen specs. state 2,5m.da N. This, I think, means 25 N (2,5 being one tenth). This, does not seem correct. It seems rather insufficient to me. Am I wrong (a very great possibility)? Or, better still, does anyone have the correct torque setting (s) at hand? The figure of 25 N also seems low based on the fact that most torque wrenches for general use only start at around 25/27 N. This means that the wrench would be at its most minimum setting (not advisable) or of no use at all (unless, of course, you have a nice selection of different torque wrenches!).
Any advice (even if it makes me look daft) would be much appreciated. I'm happy to wrong rather than the wheel, literally, coming off!
As always, best regards,
El Berlingo
