Does anyone have or can direct me to a complete listing of recommended torques for the 66 Sprite, 1098 engine? My factory manual lists a few, but it certainly is way less than a comprehensive list. Thanks.

I second that motion...

I'm looking for torque spec on the rear wheel bearing retaining nut, as well as the size of socket I'll need to buy.. I think 1 7/8"??

I can check the axle nut socket size when I get to the shop, I had to modify mine, most socket have a rounded leading edge on them, and with the axle nut being so slim, it wouldn't let it seat properly, I ended up putting the socket in the lathe so I could turn the rounded end off and let the socket get all the way up on the nut.

140 ft. pounds is the factory torque for the axle nut, I don't use the cheesy tab washer and I clean all the threads on the nut and axle housing really good with brake clean and blow dry and then use red locktite on the nut.
