Rear hubs on a ff14 bolt

I just converted the rear brakes to disk. I'm putting them back on and I was wondering how tight to make the nuts on the housing?. My guess would be no movement + a little then lockem down with the keepers.

Re: Rear hubs on a ff14 bolt

what nuts are they? the big ring looking ones you have to have the special socket for?

if so the inner nut is torqued to 50 ft/lbs, install the retainer and the outer nut is torqued to 65 ft/lbs.

the axle shaft to hub bolts should be torqued to 115 ft/lbs.

Thats from a GM shop Manual.

50ftlbs while spinning hub then back off a little bit then install the lock nut.
