I recently got a model 44 rear end with flanged axles, and I would like to use it and replace the model 27 in my Lark VIII. My shop manual doesn’t cover these units so I was wondering what’s up with this axle nut; I assume it holds the hub on the shaft. I’m going to grease the bearings and replace seals before I install it in the car-is there any reason to remove this nut? If so what torque does it need to be?
I assume the axle and hub come out and the bearings stay on the shaft to clean and grease. Thanks for any advice.
