2011 Rear Hub Torque Spec

Postby overdraft » Mon Feb 23, 2026 9:00 pm

Hi All!
Replacing one of my rear hubs (failed bearing) and I just need a torque spec for the nut.
I promise I searched in the forum and the greater web, but either it's not out there or my prompt skillz are lacking.
Thanks in advance if anyone has the number!

Thanks for that... I assumed the transition would have been when the model changed!

DRUM.

Yes looks like mk1 had drums only on the rear. i could be wrong... i thought some had discs

all there is in the manual is drums.
you are going to need a big torque wrench maybe 3/4 drive

I found rear disc brakes in the manual

its very hard to search the manual --2797 pages, no index ... and search words are either one word or two words that you know come after each other. rush it and you'll crash it

so for the record mk1 did have disc brakes on the rear on some models.

No .. the manual was given to me by a member of the forum .. he paid full price for it and does not like the idea of me giving it away.

So .. all i can do is look through it with any questions you want to ask about, copy a pages or diagrams that is it.

if i ever find a free one online , ill put a link to it .

Note: most or nearly all manuals you find shared online are someone ripping off a pay-for manuals site .. who show the manual and remove chunks of important info out of the "incomplete SAMPLE"of it, so its not much cop...Or the sample is good .. but chunks go missing when you try to copy it.. that's what some are like from ebay.

Not ever managed yet, to get the mk6/7 one that isn't missing bits.
Even with the paid for ones Non of them are indexed and properly searchable......they are just a giant 3000 page toilet roll, with the facts hidden inside somewhere!

There is a Haynes manual that is available .. but its not very good .. pics and diagrams are not good .. information not detailed enough (does not even show the drum brake diagram).. unlike a Haynes from the 6O's 70's 80;s and early 90's

USA has proper very detailed genuine Ford paper manuals on the Connect .. but they don't have the same engine and the electrics are in another manual.

For the drum brake version, does anyone know how big the hub nut is?
I don't want to have it pulled to pieces only to find I don't have the right size socket....
TIA!
