Around 150 ft lbs, as i recall.? Don't forget the cotter pin.

Thank you for responding John! On my VW bus with a fully splined shaft and reduction gearboxes the torque is 250 ft. lbs. so 150 for the Plymouth sounds about right. I'll go with that.

Does anyone know the torque for the 1 1/4" wrenching size nut that holds the brake drum/hub on the rear axle of a '37 P-4 4 door sedan? My manual only says "tight".

Thanks,

James
