Follow-up: Rear hub replacement

[Bryan Chow]

Hi All,

Thanks to those who replied privately to my last post regarding
replacing a rear hub assembly on my 95 200SX SE-R. I installed the
new hub yesterday and thought I'd post a follow-up for the archives.

I still don't know the exact size of the bearing retainer nut, but a
30mm socket fit tight enough.

The Chilton manual also claims 137-188 ft-lbs, so I assume this is
correct. After having performed the install, this amount of torque
seems reasonable.
