Needed washer 2x 8F8050 and 2x key T-217 (key 3/8, 7/16 square stock?
Thanks to 56wrench's good eye that noticed an old oil leak around the axle nut in a posted pic then alerted me to the nut being lose. I'm working on the right rear axle nut (V-168) that have come loose (both sides) on my 8T012801. I would like to torque it down so it will tighten correctly when it goes back together and won't loosen back up again. The lock and washer have been flopped over several times and look ruff (need new lock n washer). The key and axle are .... EWwww
¿good? would you believe ¾ good ? how about ½ good? or maybe just a ¼? (it ran when I parked it)😂🤣😂

I believe those hubs are supposed to be pressed onto the axle with a 50 ton press. The taper on the axel locks to the hub when pressed on. The nuts and washers are just window dressing. No amount of torque will create enough pressure.

That sounds like an expensive new tool... Though I think I'll be able to rent a 30t er 50t press ...

My old shop at the county had one. I told the super if it was to be sold, I wanted to buy it. The A, Hole sold it for scrap. Cant believe I hired him when he was a dumb kid. No respect for his elders. He said it had hydraulic leaks. So what. I will need one some day. will cross that bridge when I come to it.

I do not know how much torque I had, but here is how I did the one I did. I put the nut on as tight as I could with a 4ft pipe wrench. Then I hooked a 4000lb comealong into the hole in the end of the pipe wrench handle and hooked the other end to the end of the moldboard. Then after ratcheting the comealong as tight as I could get it I hit the hub with a 12lb maul. Then I would get more on the come a long. I kept at this until after a hit I could not get any more on the comealong. It has been 10 yrs and no movement yet. Not very scientific but at that time I had no access to a press and there was snow to plow after fixing a leaky wheel cylinder. It took a 20 ton press to get it off when we took it apart.
