Title: Quick Question Rear Spindle Nut TQ?
Post by: Henchman on January 10, 2008, 12:17:37 pm

Am replacing right rear spindle and need to know the TQ for the nut that holds the drum and bearings in place.  I have a 93 Passat with drum brakes.  Appears to be the same spindle that has been used on countless years and models up to 97, so I assume TQ would be the same?

Thanks,

Ian

You tighten it until you can barely turn the washer behind it with a screwdriver. I believe you are suppose to spin the tire while you are tightening it
