Rear wheel hub nut

Hi thanks for replying.

I have attached a sheets showing model and year and for some reason 2010 model is showing 184nm and then 2012 is showing 104nm, would you know why these are different when the parts are looking the same.
I just want to make sure that I have tighten to the correct spec. At the moment I greased up the splines in the hub to stop click noise but I tighten to 104nm so if it needs to be 184nm is fine but I don’t want to over tighten.

thanks in advance

The difference in torque spec is depending on whether you have a washer or not. I had the same issue when looking at the spec and if your particular year does not use a washer, you would use the higher torque spec. If you do have a washer, you would use the lower spec. How I figured this out is if you look at one of the repair manuals for a particular year, in the rear axle section, where they have the diagram showing the rear axle housing, rear dust shield, you'll notice that there will either be a washer shown or no washer shown. And whenever there is no washer the torque is always higher, and if one is in the diagram, it will be lower.
