Re: Changing out the front hub
Worse worse, if the grease does in fact move, your torque will be significantly reduced. However, torque is of little consequence to other people. I inquired about the torque specification when I visited the dealership to purchase an axle nut. It was beyond the knowledge of the parts man to look it ...

Re: Changing out the front hub
Some details were confusing me, so I appreciate the clarification. Aside from generic work flow and torque parameters, Mitchell1 provides no actual instruction on this operation. I thought taking the hub off would be a major challenge, but all it took was a little wiggle and it fell right apart. It ...

Re: Changing out the front hub
Thank you for the advise. Another question: I've seen mixed advice on whether or not to grease the axle spline ends and, if so, which lubricant (e.g., moly vs. anti-seize) to use. Does anyone have formal word on the matter?

Re: Changing out the front hub
I appreciate your prompt reply. It's likely to be rather tight, so I'll likely use ground friction to loosen it, followed by the brake to torque it down. Following the manufacturer's advise is something I try to avoid.

Changing out the front hub
There doesn't seem to be any solid advice on how to fasten the hub so that the spindle nut may be torqued to 217 ft lbs. A few videos demonstrate how torque may be supplied to the spindle by engaging the park position of the gearbox. That seems like a chance to hurt yourself from the inside out ...

Volvo rotors are the only ones used at the shop where I work.

Re: The oil level
The first time I changed it, I placed 8 liters, and it was on the first red line; that's why I went with 7.5 liters this time; nevertheless, when I removed it from the car, it was more than 7 liters. I was wondering why.

The oil level
Hi everyone, I need your help figuring out what's wrong with my 2018 Range Rover's oil level. When I start it up after a night without driving, the oil level is below the middle, but after 20 or 30 minutes of driving, I check it again and it's at the maximum. Has anybody else experienced this? I can ...
