Colin Lindsay Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Anyone know the correct torque setting for the Herald rear trunnions? The manual mentions front trunnions ok but no rears, and the closest entry I can find is 'vertical rear plates to inner rear hub' - is that it?

Nigel Clark Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 According to Mr Haynes, rear suspension vertical link to trunnion 48 lb ft for my Spitfire, should be the same for your Herald. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68vitesse Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 My WSM for Mk1 2L Vitesse shows 42-46 for vertical link plates to hub and spring ends. Regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted April 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Thanks Paul - it's just the fact that it does not mention 'rear trunnion' anywhere that has made me wary, plus the fact that some mention 'rear hub' whilst others refer to it as 'inner hub'. Years ago I found that the head nut torque for the early GT6 in the Haynes manual is incorrect, but only after stripping quite a few studs, so have been on guard ever since.
