The Cessna 120-140 Association Forum

About to pull my axles to repaint the gear legs and want to ensure, without a doubt, I get them torqued correctly when I reinstall. I have found no info in the 100 Series manual. Groves simply says to refer to AC 43-13. Does anyone have a little info more definitive I can go on? Thanks all.

A 140A should have AN5 bolts. AC43.13-1b Table 7-1 calls for a torque of 100-140 in-lbs with a maximum of 225. Personally, I'd go for 140 in-lbs, top of the "normal" range.
