CV Axle Nut question

[mmklaxer]

I’m ready to final torque/angle of turn the rear axle nuts, and I’m struggling to hold the rotors from spinning for the 45 angle turn. Brakes are bled and the pedal feels pretty firm (no real frame of reference). Bled the brakes a few times and had no bubbles coming out.

I’m going to try bleeding again just to see if any trapped bubbles come out, but otherwise not sure what else I should do.

The manual states to engage the e-brake to hold the rotor. I had an assistant stand on the brake pedal. Hit the 98 ft lbs, but almost immediately after the rotor starts to spin. I’m nowhere near the 45 degrees.

It’s cold in the garage here - right around freezing. I’m not sure if that plays a part on the brake system or the pads/rotors.

Thoughts?

My first thought is you might want to delete this post and move it to the Roadster section. You're in the Roadster Build Threads section, this section is for build diaries.
