Wheel bolt Torque setting

[moggytom]

Looking at sticking my spare wheel on while I clean and seal my standard wheels what do I need to torque the wheel nuts up to ? Will it be I'm the hand book ? Dnt want my wheel falling off or it being stupidly tight

Thanks Tom

Bloody biscuit i can say be very carful with the nuts i took mine to the local tyre place after to check thanks to my knakered shoulder 3 nuts on front left were quiet loose :/

 

[moggytom]

I wish I could get l 4 off at once ! Haha just wana get them cleane an sealed and paint my hubs and calipers but hav to do one by one haha ! And I know its as high as a monster truck maybe I like it that way ..... Haha or not

 

[LukeWS]

Yeah i managed 2 but was a nightmare especially painting them still need the hubs doing

What you sealing them with I've got 1 coat of SNH on mine would highly recommend mate

 

[moggytom]
