    Default 2015 rtl rear axle

    Does anyone happen to know the torque specs for the rear brake rotor and rear axle nut?
    By the way, the cheap Harbor Freight disk brake set has a plate to fit the 2 holes in the rear caliper and the tool turned it back in with hardly any effort. Well worth the money spent.

    I searched, came up with a few hundred threads for every word and couldn't find what I was looking for.

    I found this for the front, but nothing for the back yet.

    Front caliper bolts are 35 lbf*ft 48 N*m
    Front Wheel lugs are 77lbf*ft 105 N*m

    Found this
    rear brake rotor bolts 68 lbf FT
    rear caliper bolts 77 lbf ft
    rear axle nut 166 lbf ft

    However it is showing the 2 piece rear wheel and hub like on the older RT and this is a 2015 manual. Mine has the incorporated hub like a 2016. Does nayone know if the torque specs are the same?

    Thanks

    The rear axle nut is really 177 ftlbs? How do you tighten the nut with the cotter pin? I have a 2013 RTL.

    It's 166 ft lbs. My axle doesn't have a cotter pin, but the hitch bolt that goes through the rear axle does.

    You remove the cotter pin, tighten and then replace with a new cotter pin. The cotter pin is only to hold the nut onto the axle in case it backs completely off.
