When installing MOOG hub assemblies, it is important to avoid overtightening the axle nut. The best way to avoid overtightening the nut is to use the right tool for the job. Many technicians use an impact gun when installing an axle nut on a wheel hub bearing which not only overtightens the bearing but can also cause premature wear to the hub assembly. MOOG recommends using a torque wrench to tighten the axle nut accurately. DO NOT use an impact wrench.

Responsible for attaching the wheel to the car to allow the wheels to freely turn during steering, the wheel hub bearing is susceptible to damage due to overtightening the axle nut during installation. Read on to learn an important tip for installing MOOG® hub assemblies.

Torque the axle nut to manufacturer’s specifications. Do so while vehicle is raised and the hub assembly is unloaded. Once the vehicle is off the ground, it is safe to proceed with torqueing the axle nut. Also be sure to have someone else hold the brake pedal down while you torque the axle nut.
