Matco Axle Bolt - Torque

[thodgdon]

Been searching an almost endless combination of terms, but I cannot locate a definitive source for the torque specification for the Matco nose axle bolt torque.
One chart said 190 in.lbs., but that seems low to me. The engineering drawings from Matco have a torque spec for the three wheel bolts.

Does anyone have a torque spec for the Matco nose axle bolt as used on the RV-10?

Thanks!!

A standard 3/8-24 have a limit 160-190 inlb.
A bolt/ nut with a strength of 140-160,000 psi have a limit of 170-271 inlb.
For a nose wheel bolt it's likely that Vans
have choosen a stronger bolt than standard. Check the markings om the bolt.

Good luck
