Thanks a lot for the info on this. I was hoping there was someone out there who had done it.
Unfortunately no grease fittings on the hub. I have them on my trailer and give them a shot every season before I start any towing and it is really convenient. Might be something to recommend that ERA start using if that type of stub axle is available.
An earlier post regarding the torque specs mentioned that Doug sets the initial at 120 lbs. then tightens the nut to align the castellated portion with the hole for the cotter pin to set the final torque. I'll be giving him a call tomorrow morning to check on his procedure.
I think I have a copy of the XJ-6 repair manual and will check it as you recommend.
I'll try to keep a running post of what happens as I continue with this.
