My AWD M Series manual gives torque for axle shaft nuts as 156 Nm (115 lbft).
Twice now I have managed to tear the threads of a stud in the hub when tightening half shaft nuts to this limit.
So when taking the hub off a crated rebuilt MJ axle today I decided to check torque required to remove half shaft nuts - they required between 90 to 100 Nm.
Question
N.O.S.
Can you trust what the manual says?

Great. So what is going on here?
