samm Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Does anyone torque there alloys up or just do them up until they feel tight after all tyre garages just wind them up with an air gun,if you do torque them what's the correct torque?

Scooter Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Tight as I can (i'm not weak or very strong and my eyes aren't bulging when i do it) with the stock brace or a bar with my hand at about a foot from the nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayside_supra Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I got for 105 never had one loosen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Over tightening just stretches the threads and you risk weakening the stud to the point it could shear off 80/85 ftlbs is what i do mine too Edited February 16, 2017 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianhid Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 105NM, never had one come loose. I seem to remember 76ft-lb being the factory spec on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samm Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 I'm going to go for somewhere in the middle and do mine at 90ftlb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inazone Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 The 105nm torque is for the stock nut with washer. I had a rear wheel come loose on dragonball last year. I was very lucky to discover the problem before loosing the wheel! The nuts were only on by a couple of threads! I torqued my wheels up but importantly didn't check after 50 miles or so. After that incident and chatting to others I now torque my wheels to 120nm and check them regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
