Torque for hub / spindle.

According to the FSM, it says to use some type of gauge and get about 2 lbs of force before it moves.

I don't have one of those gauges. So, I tightened it on there and tightened it so that it felt like the other one. So, it takes a bit of force to get it to go, but not a ton. There is a little bit of drag, but not lots.

Anyone have any suggestions? I don't have a weight thing.

fishing dept at walmart... fish scale 20 bucks or so...
just remember drive it for a few hundred or so and re check the specs..

i can take a pic of the scale if you want, sure you can get it just about anywhere the FSM shows you the angle to pull the scale at to get the correct reading

Worked great! Hard to get it right at 2 lbs though.
