Re: Note this is for the rear 323i hub not the 320 (archive)

I saw your comments above. I do remember the earlier discussion on 11/23 about the rear hub for the 320i, but I have disk brakes not the drum. The torque setting may be the same, but I'd like to check specifically the 323i number.
Rickard,
Thats not the right nut. I am referring to the large one that is centered right under the dust cap of the wheel. If you remove the wheel it is centered on the hub with a cotter pin thru it. I believe that it is a 36mm nut but am not certain. You would remove this nut to get to the bearings etc. If you understand what I mean now, would you mind looking that one up?

I now have all the parts, I just need torque specification and I can install the rear disks.

Is anyone familiar with the torque spec for the rear hub nut on the rear disk brake set-up from a 323i? This is the really large nut that has the cotter pin thru it.
Any help appreciated

Hello Mike,

I think you are in the process of upgrading the rear brake system of your 320i. Could please indicate me what are the modifications you made to change the drums into disks. (what size, what kind of calipers, did you have to change the master cylinder, or perform any other drilling and/or welding stuff on the trailing arms). My 320 is a 76 european model... :-))

Thank you very much in advance for your help
