Wheel nut torque
« on: 20 March 2015, 15:51:15 »
Hi Fellas...

Just had wheels off, damn near broke my back undoing them, even with an extension bar. What is the correct torque to re-tighten them please. I have got a Torque Wrench that is 30nm to 210nm.....
Wheels are 17" Alloy normal Elite

Thanks

Tony

I would be concerned - depending how much they had been overtightened - that they had now been stretched beyond their elastic limit, and as suggested above, check them again later. :y

The cone bit of the bolt is supposed to be very lightly greased as well
