Rear Axle.

Just starting to rebuild the refinished rear axle, replacing the four bolts that hold on the stub axle. Any pointers to the torque?
The main nut that hold on the the wheel bearings are nylock. I suppose I should replace them but they are virtually new and Audi ones are £14.00 each which is IMO a bit steep.
There seems to be some discussion as to whether reusing is good practice. It seems that most do not see a problem with reusing Nylock nuts if they are in good condition.
Any comments?
 
Have a good read through this thread. It has grown into a "how to".


Nylocks, provided they still have their locking torque can be reused, but if they are showing any signs of deterioration then replace them.
