I would like to know if anyone has the torque specifications for rear axle nut holding rear brake drum
on 1948 Plymouth.

Thank you.

My torque wrench is pretty well maxed out at that point. But I have bar about 16" long and weight 190lbs, so if I put all my weight on the bar with it horizontal to the ground that is pretty close to 250 ft-lbs. I guess I might have tightened mine too much. :)
