Front Driveshaft Nut 196 - 255 Nm (145 - 188 ft-lb)




Be sure to install the driveshaft washer in the specified direction.

Using special tool MB990767, tighten the driveshaft nut. At this time, tighten the nut to the specified lower limit torque so that the pin hole may align with cotter pin.

If the pin hole does not align with the pin, tighten the driveshaft nut [less than 255 Nm (188 ft-lb)] and find the nearest hole, then fit the cotter pin.
