Description
 
Sold each. Replacement rear axle nut 36mm and 46mm for VW Volkswagen Bug, Super Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Thing, Type 3. The correct torque for a rear axle nut is 217 ft lbs for 36mm nut and 253 ft lbs on 46mm bus. Never use a pipe wrench, cresent wrench. I don't even trust impact guns. I use the correct socket and a breaker bar or a torque multiplier. I have used the cheap axle nut tool you hit with a 5 lb hammer before. It absolutely works. Never back the nut up to install the cotter pin. The drum will come loose and you will tear the splines out of the drum.
