Axle nut torque

[Hamie]

My project Trike Shop Runabout has a type 3 automatic transaxle and IRS. When I went to check the brakes thinking it was over 200 ft lbs decided to see what my impact wrench would do .. the nut came off easy. My question is the torque spec different for this transaxle or was it just loose? Thanks.

If you have a good air wrench it will spin that axle nut off, I seem to remember torquing those nuts to 217 ft lbs

Just a cheap electric 1/2 inch. Thanks for the reply.
