Hello!
I was wondering if anyone knew the torque of the rear brake drum spindle nut. I've ordered the manual, but it won't ship for another week or so and we'd really like to get it back on the road. (This is for a 2003 Focus).
Thanks! Denise

I've seen 185 ft lbs referenced here for that.
I am currently struggling with rear bearing and brake implosion....
