can anyone help with the front spindle nut torque for my 61 f85 ?

 

It's more of a touchy feely thing for me. I tighten it until I feel a bind while slowly turning the wheel, then loosen again, then tighten until there is no play while gripping the top and bottom of the tire, then tighten to line up the cotter key hole.

 

Welcome aboard,

 

sweeeeet .thank you!

 

Allen, Ummm... You didn't post the ref to the wheel bearing adjustment.

 

Didn't we just answer this question a week ago?

Also, note that both the wheel lug nuts and the spindle nut on the driver's side of your 61 are left hand thread.

 

Oops, here it is. From a scanned efile on another car web site, that's why it's a little fuzzy looking
