M35A2 - FLIPPING REAR HUBS TO SINGLE OUT A DEUCE.

[Hiddensun]

I just did mine with A3 wheels and 14R20 Michelin's.

As for:

Hey guys, I'm getting ready for flipping the hubs for singles, New wheel cylinders, brake shoes, hardware, soft lines and master cylinder and have just one question, What is the torque spec for the 3" axle nut? I'm not very good with the TM's. I'm gonna try the Mrap rims (wanted a3 rims but $$$) with 395s and see if I like them. I guess I have another question now, Will pulling the shaft between the two rear axles make any sense as I never take it off of the pavement? Thanks Guys!

I believe its 50ft/lbs for the inner a 200ft/lbs for the outer.

I will also leave this here for others wanting guidelines for flipping hubs: http://www.xm381.com/xm381/How_To/Pages/Hub_Flip.html

Please do not forget to loosen the inner nut 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn after torquing to 50 foot pounds while someone turns the drum. I do 150 on the outer nut as called for in the TM but 200 can't hurt.

what would look cool is duplex tires on the front and duals on the rear

You'll want to post that question in the Parts Wanted forum (which is found under the "Classifieds" - see the link at the top center of every page):
