R56: hub replacement questions
R56: hub replacement questions
I have to replace the right front and left rear hubs (stripped the damned interior lugbolt threads, my own effing fault).
Unfortunately, my Google Fu must be weak, and my ability to search the NAM forum even worse. So I have two questions. I apologize, in advance, if this has been discussed ad naseum before:
Q1: I know the torque for the front hub is 134 ft lbs, but I cannot find a rear specification. Anyone have it handy?
Q2: Is there a grease specification? I cannot find one.

Just a quick follow up and resolution, for future searchers
----------------------------------------
No grease needed. These are sealed hubs; the drive hubs are directly splined, the rear hubs are bolted to the suspension.
Rear torque is 56Nm, per a borrowed Chilton's.
--------------------------------------
Hubs were repaired by running a 14M-1.25 tapping tool through the damaged threads, removal and replacement ended up not being necessary.
