I do have a torque wrench but not one that will do the 280 Nm required for the hubs, nor the big socket. It's useful for getting wheels off after the local tyre shop has been busy with the air wrench! I don't have any space in our garage because Rosie uses it for storage for her business, so this place could be very useful, especially in the winter months (and because I can probably get in there during the week rather than weekends). Maybe someone near you has similar facilities? I think even some Halfords branches have units you can use or rent.
For anyone local to me who is interested in this workshop, call Autocare at 23 Catherine street, Frome, Somerset, tel. 01373-462926.
I very much doubt if my hubs have ever been changed and I honestly don't know how long the things normally last - presumably the life of the car? - hence my post. Haynes tells us not to over-torque them to adjust out wear, and says that if they do wear you should replace the whole assembly (easier than dismantling but presumably more expensive overall). Beause the slop in mine went when I tightened the nut to spec, I hope I'm back on track. Tapani wrote about all the gunk he found in his, though. Think I'll just leave things to the next service and see what seems to be happening, if anything.
