What is the torque spec f150 axle nut for my 2010 model?

so last summer, I was working on my 2010 F150, trying to change the wheel bearings. I thought I knew what I was doing, but I guess I shouldn’t assume that. lol. I ended up tightening the axle nut way too much, and the whole wheel was wobbling like it was dancing or something.

After some research, I found out that the torque spec is actually 250 ft-lbs. But I was like, are you kidding me? That’s a lot of torque. I wonder if I should’ve bought a torque wrench before I started the job.

Have you guys messed up something similar? What’s the craziest repair story you have? I guess we live and learn right?

had a 2010 F150 once and never thought about the axle nut torque untill it started making noise lol

I ve heard it’s around 250 ft-lbs so just be careful with that or disaster might strike

Ive been tinkering with my 2010 F150 for ages. Man that axle nut torque spec is tricky. Found it to be 250 lb-ft hope it helps.

i remember when i had to change my axle nut on my 2010 F150 up in Canada it was a bit of a hassle finding the spec but i think its around 250 lb-ft if i recall correctly

make sure you torque it right or that nut might back off while you drive and that would be a nightmare

Ive worked on my buddy’s 2010 F150 last summer in Michigan and we had to look up the axle nut torque spec. man it was a pain but we found it at 250 ft-lbs.

That thing was stubborn too just like trying to open a pickle jar. Best advice is to use a torque wrench or you’ll end up with a mess.

I ve always found it tricky figuring out torque specs. My buddy in Iowa had a horror story with his F150 axle nut. Just make sure you check your manual.

I’ve done a lot of work on my 2010 F150 in my garage here in Oregon the axle nut should be torqued to 250 ft-lbs just remember to use a good torque wrench.

I remember working on my F150 back in the day and trying to figure out the axle nut torque spec. It’s a pain right. I found out it’s around 250 lb-ft for a 2010.

That truck has been through a lot. Great for hauling but sometimes the repairs can drive you nuts. No wonder folks are always looking for that magic number. It really makes a difference when you’re wrenching on it.

I remember when I did my first axle nut replacement on my 2010 F150 in my garage in Ohio. It was a mess but also a fun project.

For the axle nut torque spec I think its around 250 ft-lbs or something close to that.

Just make sure you have a good torque wrench it def makes a difference. Happy wrenching…

I ve worked on my 2010 F150 and if I remember right the axle nut torque spec is around 250 lb-ft.

Took me a while to figure it out when I was replacing the bearings last summer in my garage in Michigan.

Honestly those axle nuts can be a real pain with tight spots and everything

But when you get it right it feels good knowing it’s all set for the road ahead

I remember working on my buddy’s 2010 F150 last summer near Seattle and had to tackle the axle nut. It was a bit of a pain honestly. I think the torque spec was around 250 lb-ft if I recall.

We ended up using a cheater bar to get it just right. Just take your time with it to avoid issues later. Always feels good to get those specs straightened out.

I remember breaking my axle nut on my 2010 F150 last summer driving through some rough trails in Montana.

I’ve always wondered about the right torque spec. For mine I think it was around 250 ft-lbs but who knows anymore with how many people throw around numbers.

Guess it depends on the mechanic you trust

I’ve always found those axle nuts a bit too tight to handle sometimes. I remember working on my buddy’s 2010 F150 just outside Detroit and we had to look up the specs.

I’ve read that the axle nut torque spec is around 250 lb-ft if I’m not mistaken. Crazy how something so small can make such a difference in performance. Just be careful not to overdo it
