Locking Wheel Nuts

[Ian 2]

Ok got alloys on my clio mk2 now, and about to put set on locking nuts on for obvious reasons. A few people i have spoke to said i should only lightly tighten the locking nuts so there just tight, and not use a torque wrench on them. Any ideas whether i should lightly tighten them or use a torque wrench?

Just started modding so any advice is much appreciated, this is probably an easy one for you's lol.

Cheers Ian

They probably want your alloys!

Nah, i have never heard that one before, i usually just tighten mine up the same as the other 3 nuts... someone on here will know for definite though

You should do the bolts up to exactly the same torque.

Do the bolts as you do the other bolts, torqued properly. Grease the thread and whenever you get the wheel bolts off, clean the head of the lock nut and the key, can't go wrong
