[Accord2016]

I have a bad front wheel bearing, and I'm looking for the axle nut torque. It's a 2016 v6. The car is warranty, but the dealer has been giving me the runaround. So I'm putting a new OEM bearing in at my work right now. And it turned out the old bearing is bad.. Does anyone know the axle not torque for my year?

Thank you.

I think it's 181ft lbs, and you are not alone with dealers problematic warranty repairs. Either they are stupid or acting dumb or both stupid and dumb not to know the differences between tire noise and bearing noise. Even I am not in the business and I can tell the difference. I bought the car almost AS IS as they don't fix any defective parts or problems.

I can barely torque 100 ft lbs, how the heck are you supposed to get 181 by hand? Or don't you?

242 ft-lbs on the spindle nut. Probably impossible to do without an impact or a 3/4" torque wrench.

By hand, you can't even screw in a 10mm bolt. You need proper tools and creative tools. I have recently removed the front axle nut 9th gen, 36mm, and it wasn't that hard at all vs the crank bolt on v6; and my weight is around 190lbs. So, I believe it is 181 ft lbs.

I have a Tekton 1/2" drive torque wrench rated for 250 ft-lb max, so it is possible. But you'll probably have to put your body weight + an extension cheater bar on it to get to 242. 7th gen is 181 ft-lb, 8th gen is 242 ft-lb, 9th gen I'm not sure. I was able to torque to 181 ft-lb on my 7th gen with bare hands.

If you aren't able to torque that high, make absolutely sure you stake down the axle nut.

I don't have a torque wrench that goes that high, so I use a breaker bar and a calculator. On my 7th gen I need 181 ft-lbs, and I weigh 150 lbs. Take the torque and divide by your weight 181ft-lbs / 150lbs = 1.21ft or 14.5 inches. Tighten the nut as best you can by hand, and then stand on the breaker bar at 14.5 inches from the center of the nut. I know it's not super accurate (because you can't stand on a single point), but it gets you pretty darn close.

I crack up every time I read the very bottom of your signature. My protip made it to the big leagues.

Poorly aligned headlights is one of my pet peeves, so it was nice to see someone else that felt the same.

I bought a 1 day subscription and then scraped all the links and put the indexes here: https://unknowntransportation.com:8443/Service

In a few months I'll scrape the 2018 Accord.

I've got a 36mm striker wrench, I whack it 3or 4 times with a 4# shop hammer & call it good, never had a problem yet doing it that way.

You feeling ok enne? 100ft/lbs isn't anything. You get past 150 and that's where the boys start separating from the men. This is of course, with only the mechanical advantage the lever arm length of the torque wrench being used.

I lost some weight this year, which pretty much means I lost a lot of muscle lol. When I was finishing up the lug nuts on the winter wheels with the needle torque wrench (80 ft lbs), I was struggling a little and my BF made the observation that things like that are harder to do when you're lighter. And he was right. Guess I need to start lifting and get that muscle back.

Same here. Lost somewhere between 20-30 lbs. Mine was mostly love handles. :grin

I went the other way, I started doing strength training 2 years ago and it completely threw off my arm calibration. I hit 80 ft-lbs and thought my torque wrench was set to 40! I started using a torque wrench on the oil drain plug because I didn't trust that I wouldn't gorilla it accidentally

When I was in the air force, I did Minuteman ICBM missile maintenance. One of the things about nuclear missile sites is they're designed to survive a nearby (not direct) nuclear hit. There are two 'floors' of equipment underground, surrounding the launch tube itself. The motor-generator, which weighed around 1,300 pounds, was hung from the bottom of the first floor's (physically) shock-isolated floor. If I remember right (this was early '90s), some of the bolts on it were tightened to something on the order of 300 foot-pounds, necessitating the use of a torque multiplier (which weighed about 10 pounds) in addition to a 3 or 4-foot long, 3/4" drive, dial indicator torque wrench. This in a space not quite 6 feet wide. Dial indicator, so no snap breaking action, and due to the location of these bolts we had to do this on on our backs, tightening the bolts in to the bottom of the brackets, with the thing 3 feet in the air above us. I did it once or twice and I don't think I got anywhere close to the required torque.

Here's my other missile maintenance story.

Lucky! I definitely lost muscle tone/mass. Down 23 lbs so far, still got another 11 to go.

That happened to my BF as well. That's how the parking brake on Selene ended up bent sideways... haha

Sometimes the rage kicks in (inherited that from my dad, thanks dad!) and I get Hulk strength for a few seconds. So sometimes I can loosen/tighten things that seem impossible to do on my own. It's like a buff with a really, really short effective time and a super long cooldown time! Then I wake up the next morning and my arm is dead XD

Yeesh. Reminds me of when dad and I were trying to loosen the bolts for the carrier bearing thing that held the drive shaft in on the Camaro; probably the first time they had ever been taken out. On our backs with just a few inches of room above us (claustrophobic much?), had to feel for the bolts because they were crammed up behind other crap, and then I ended up having to crack them loose with the wrench because my dad couldn't do it (bad shoulder). I remember I was basically doing pull-ups; pulling my entire body along the shop floor with the wrench because they were so tight. But I got it done. That sucked.

Those situations make me glad that I have an impact gun. Very much good value when you can get jobs done in half the time not needing breaker bars or pulling muscles to crack bolts loose.
