🛠️ Zip Torx Nut Installation Guide
This paragraph outlines the process of installing the Stemco Zip Torx spindle nut on a vehicle's axle. It begins with the presenter, Mike, introducing the topic and the tools required, including an axle stand and the Zip Torx spindle nut itself. The video links to a previous tutorial on installing a preset hub and mentions that the Zip Torx nut will become standard equipment from 2021 according to Great Dane. The installation procedure, known as the 2-1-1 method, is explained in detail: initially applying 200 foot-pounds of torque to seat the seal and ABS sensor, then loosening the nut by one full turn, and finally torquing it to 100 foot-pounds three times. The paragraph emphasizes the importance of following this procedure for proper installation and function of the Zip Torx nut.
📏 Measuring and Adjusting End Play
The second paragraph focuses on the measurement and adjustment of end play after the Zip Torx nut has been installed. The presenter demonstrates how to use a dial indicator to ensure that the end play is within the acceptable range of three thousandths of an inch, which is the maximum allowed variance in the industry. The importance of having no gasket material, lumps, or bumps in the axle end is highlighted to maintain accuracy during the measurement process. The paragraph concludes with a reminder to the audience to subscribe to the YouTube channel for more informative content and provides links to common Zip Torx nuts for various vehicle axles.
