2004 1.25 Brake drum nut torque - obbig
Every other car I've ever had has had rear drums with a castellated nut and split pin. This car instead has a weird nut ( actually what looks like 3 or 4 thin nuts contained in a cage ) which I assume is some sort of locknut. It appears to be done up very tight. How is this supposed to work and what torque is needed? Also there doesn't seem to be any internal oil seal to prevent grease from the bearings getting on to the brake pads. This is progress??
Many thanks for any help

you will need to fit new nuts of the same type, they are "one use" only.Any attempt to fit old nuts will result in damaging the thread on hub shaft.
