Can someone tell me how many Nm's this nut wants to be torqued to?

Thanks,
Jan

Drive flange to rear axleshaft - 400 to 450 Nm.

You are my hero! (Now only how am I going to measure that??)

look at a Craftsman bar wrench, it has FP and NM.
I could likely look at mine and give you my best guess as to NM=FP if you like

I reread your post, you asked for Nm.

289 to 325 lb ft. is the conversion.

:) It's more like I was wondering how to measure that precisely as my wrench only goes to 120 Nm. I'll try to borrow one at the local garage which has the right range.

Cheers,
Jan
