Title: Tightening Torques
Post by: polilara on 20 December 2018, 12:04:56

Hello, I cannot find anymore the torque settings table, is it still somewhere. Looking fro the value for front hub.

Are you removing the hub to replace the bearing? If so the hub nut is 320Nm. Most torque wrenches won't do that. Maybe you can borrow or rent one? A very good socket and a long breaker bar and two big men will be needed to get it off.

Otherwise be a bit more specific as to what nuts and bolts you're working on and somebody should be able to provide the values.
And the torque tables given in the Haynes manual although for pre-facelift B1s also apply to your Omega B2.

Thanks for info, 320 Nm is not a problem, good to know it now. Hubs are already disassembled and yes I change bearings. Actually new hubs have new bearings installed in factory. My weight is 72 kg so with that weight and 45 cm arm it is OK enough for me..

Did they give you new nuts? I'd be inclined to use new nuts.
