Post by: 1937Firewood on October 09, 2022, 07:12:23 AM

Looking for torque specs for 37 Plymouth PT50 :

Rear axle brake drum nut? (the big one 1-1/4" )

Front crankshaft pulley nut? ( the big one 1-3/4" )

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks again, project is moving forward fast, rebuilt all brake and master cyls. Drums installed and just need to torque the axl nuts and adjust the brakes without the tooling.
My complete electrical wire harness arrived so that can get started, once the cranknut is torqued the engine can be stuffed.
will post photos.

I had a typo on the crank shaft pulley nut. I have corrected my original post, but it should be 108 min not 180 min.
