Hello,

I'm in the process of replacing my seal.

However, measuring the axle load is confusing. I can turn the whole assembly with my hand, and doesn't register on my torque wrench either its so easy.

Whats the scoop, any input would be appreciated?

My Mercedes book tells me that the tightnening of the nut should be at least 180nM [133ft/lbs] over and above the torque to turn the wheels.

In another note anybody tried to get this &$#@*& nut off its incredibly tight. I have impact wrench but I'm hesitant to use it because of the possible damage to the axle and its bearings.
