My daughter's 1995 940 was in a shop that supposedly used the procedure in a Mitchell manual to tighten the front wheel 36mm hub nuts. I could not get more information about the procedure from the shop. Chilton and Haynes manuals say to tighten the nut to 74 ft-lbs and then angle tighten 45 degrees. Also, the Chilton and Haynes manuals say not to re-use the 36mm nut. The shop did re-use the nut!
I could not find anything, much less a Mitchell manual, that gave the procedure written in the Mitchell manual.
Any help with the Mitchell manual procedure tightening the front hub nuts would be appreciated and I'd sleep better knowing it was done correctly or if she should take the car to a shop that could do it correctly.
Also, does anyone have the part number of the 36mm nut used on 940s?
