    Now I rechanged teh bearing, and also right side.

    But now just need to know the torque for hubnut... Tried to use the search, but can't find there, too much different topics & posts...
    As far as I remember the torque for the front is 120-145pounds.
    I just usually tighten them with an air gun and then turn the rotor while the cars out of gear to set the bearing in place then tighten it with a 24" bar with the weight of my front arm and partial body weight. I don't ever stake them so I can reuse them. But they'll stay on with the air gun only.

    • Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.

        • It's obviously an awesome shot glass for that crown. Look it even has a handle and a convenient place to drink from.

            • Visited my local PAP and saved some Festi parts from the crusher. A couple of headlights, a tilt column w/inter-wipers and cruise control, a hatch with heated glass and wiper, a disty, thermostat housing, 2 gray-2 tan rear speaker housings, and a really nice B3 head off a '93. Don't need the head, but figured someone would. Be on the lookout, I've got to sell some stuff to pay for this.

              • I bought studs to replace the lug-studs on the Aspire swap on the front suspensoin. As I was tightning the lug nuts I snapped one of the studs. I was useing my hands & a lug wench. Bought a butane tourch & Reverse drellbits/broken bolt removal set. Removed it today & put the Lugnut back, & broke another stud. Remove it & the other 2 studs, & replaced them all with the oem lugstuds. I'm 65 & not a weight lifter & I broke both of these by hand, Didn't use air wrench & was not useing my feet/legs to tighten them. The studs were from EMPI & were for off road raceing. I had used them before with no problrms. They seemed to be hollow, maybe miscased. I'll return them Monday to the VW Buggy shop. Be careful out there, it would hve been fun if they had snapped as I was zipping around a courner.
                If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

                    I guess. I have/had the same studs on all 4 of my stock wheels. Has to be a bad batch.

                    • Drove it to work, and back, getting real tired of freezing to death before the heater starts to work.

                      Seriously I have tried everything, these cars just have the absolute worst warm up time I have every seen in a car. A 5 mile drive though stop and go traffic should have the temps up further than the lowest mark of the normal range.

                            I had a two stage stat meant for a 323, didn't make a bit of difference.

                            I have tried like 4 different stats, fixed the leak on the freeze plug, have flushed the cooling system with Cascade, pulled out the dash to clean the heatercore. (should have nothing to do with warm-up times, but I thought it should be cleaned anyway.)

                            • You should get one of those laser guided temp scanners from harbor freight. For giggles shoot the two hoses on your firewall and compare. If those arent new maybe they are gunked up?

                              • Did you reverse flush the heater core to ensure it isn't partially blocked?
