Torque settings for wheel nuts?

[Shiny Alex]

Anyone know what to torque the wheel nuts too?

Cheers :beer chug:

Tighten them till they strip, then back them off half a turn!:rofl:

half a turn ...was always told 1/4 of a turn

ve's have been re-specced to 170nm which sucks cause we dont have a torque bar at work for it,

vt-vz is 110-130nm, unsure of earlier models, assuming its around the 110 spec to

Oh poop .... is that why my wheels keep falling off??

What REALLY stuffed me up was my truck that had left hand thread on the passenger side.

Did I back them off first THEN strip them???

for clarification using a rattle gun, is it one "ugaduga" or two???

Always do them as tight as i can with what ever i will have in the car with me. No point tightening them to whatever and being unable to undo them on the side of the road.

By over tightening the wheel nuts you can run the risk of not only stripping the thread but also stretching the bolt perhaps resulting in premature failure.

110 Nm is a safe level of torque for on-road use.

Remember, the threads should be clean and dry - NO grease or oil. If your vehicle is subjected to high levels of salt then a small amount of anti-seize grease can be applied to the end of the thread.
