I am trying to find the correct amount of Torque to apply to the Front Hub Bearing on a 99 Grand Am SE, 3.4 auto.
Thanks |

Re: Torque specs for 99 Hub Bearing
My book says 284ft/lbs, seems kinda high, but that's what says. Hopefully someone else can back that up just to be safe.

Re: Torque specs for 99 Hub Bearing
Thanks Marc. my book, if I'm correct states 30 ft. lbs. then 284 Degrees. I have never torqued using "Degrees" So I thought I would ask the Experts and see what everyone else is torquing it at. Thanks again.

Re: Torque specs for 99 Hub Bearing
I knew it, I just re-read that section and the way it is written made it look like just 284, but yeah you are correct it is 30ft/lbs + 284deg. 284 degrees is just a bit over 3/4 of a turn. Once you the 30 ft/lbs mark you then continue another 3/4 turn with the wrench.

Re: Torque specs for 99 Hub Bearing
Thanks Marc. That is how I understood it also, But, I just picked up a set of 3 Preliminary manuals for a 99 GA, These are the manuals that the Dealer Techs used and they state 284/lbs. Confused! That Seems Awful Tight to me. I have an aftermarket hub bearing and don't want to Crush it! LOL.
will check some more and see if I get a reply from a G.M. Tech. Thanks Marc. |
