    Default VY SS Wheel Bearing tension...

    Does anyone have the specs for the tensioning up of the bolts on the wheel bearing in a VY SS?

    Thanks!

    I'm not pulling it apart, I just wanted to know the bolt tension for the mounting bolts on the front wheel bearing!

    I know they have to be loctited, just wanted to know what tension to do them up to.

    Cheers.

    Yeah I know it's one big hub and isn't meant to be pulled apart... we have just replaced the front right one though, and want to know the tension for the mounting bolts.

    We know to use loctite to secure them, but want to know what tension to tighten the bolts to before we add the loctite!

    The torque value is 100 - 115 NM.Bolts shouldn't be re-used more than 3 times,if in doubt replace the bolts.
