Andrew,

Torque for that hub nut is only (which is plenty, in fact...) 207 ft-lb, so
any standard 1/2 in torque wrench should reach that level easily. If you
need to test it in situ, as in a "pre-flight" test, just check if it doesn't
move at that torque and that's it. Now, if it did move, it means the splines
on the axle or in the hub are worn out. Or that you didn't use a new bolt
(M22 x 1.5, self-locking) the last time.

What's everyone doing to check torque on the hub nuts with the UrQ? Does
everyone have a truck-rated torque wrench? Are people using multipliers?
Would love to know. Thanks so much.
