Forgot to add that that the rear passenger side wheel bearings and seal have been just replaced by a new shop I'm trying to use. Wheel axle nut torqued to 360 ft lbs. I then drove the Westy back to my farm 60 miles away. Remove hub caps and felt axle nuts on both side of the Westy. The passenger side was exceptionally hot. I couldn't hold on to it. The drive side was only warm.
Hence my be question of torque specs.

Does anyone know what the correct torque specs for the rear axle nut on my 1988 GL Westy.
My Bentley says 360 ft.lbs. but I understand that that is wrong . I understand that The conversion factor from the 500 Nm was calculated wrong in the Bentley.,shouldn't it be 253 ft lbs?
I got this info from the westfalai.org site.
