Does anyone happen to have the torque spec for the outer hub flange thing? I'm not even sure what it's called to Google it...

Looks like it's called a hub extender. The torque specs I've found say 130 lb-ft.

That gets "German" torque!   Goot- en- tight!laugh     I've never put a torque wrench to them, but I'd say 130 sounds about right.

I think that's standard on big trucks.  You notice how the front wheels have reverse dish?  I helped a co-worker put brakes on his Ram 3500 diesel dually and it had them from the factory.

I have never seen a spec, I always just torqued them to whatever the lug nut torque is.  150? 165?  Something like that.

 

Note that on Ford trucks, the lug nut torque is for lightly oiled, not dry, threads.  And you also have to oil in between the two parts of the lug nut so that can move freely.

Thanks guys!! That's kinda what I figured, but you know... It holds my wheels onto my truck so it seemed good to check.
