Wondering about the handbook. It calls for 290Km torque value. This translates to 213 FT LBS. Is this correct or does it translate to 65TT LBS? My brake stays applied when I back up and I am going to take the brakes apart and figure out why. Thanks

I can believe it, it's about what other axle nuts holding a cartridge bearing calls for.
Ranges go from ~140 ftlbs to over 200 ftlbs torque.
If they were an "old style" taper roller bearing, it's a lot less (more like 30 ftlbs).
