MackMike3 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I recently just did the kingpins in my 05 Mack Granite with an 18k front axle. Im getting mixed answers on how to tighten the big bottom cap. Some resources says 250 ft lbs amd back off, others say 250, then final torque at 600 ft lbs. When I tighten the cap to 250ft lbs, I cannot move the spindle at all.(all steering connections disconnected).

terry Posted 59 minutes ago Share Posted 59 minutes ago Believe there has to be a little freeplay there, when you tighten to 250ft. lbs you are just binding everything up. you need specifications from a service manual. terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76448-05-mack-granite-kingpin-bottom-cap-torque/#findComment-592102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted 29 minutes ago Share Posted 29 minutes ago Is it the nut with the cross cut in it? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76448-05-mack-granite-kingpin-bottom-cap-torque/#findComment-592103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
