No idea lol, just do em up tight IMO.

No idea lol, just do em up tight IMO.

lols i was going for something a little more accurate than my usual tight + 1.

Conversion makes 10.5daN.m into 105NM.

Cheers

It's 90 Nm for mine don't know if thats the same for the sports.

 

[Dan7]

thanks. My wrench isnt that great some its somewhere between 100-110. Feels ok to me.

 

[jack_kemp]

I really wouldn't worry. Just do them up tight.

 

[Fred@BTM]

105nm

ALWAYS torque them, "just do them up tight" is a stupid idea (sorry, but its a saftey issue!)

That's Newton Metres a measurement for force.

just do them up tight with a suitable bar( providing you haven't got girly arms ) and you will be fine. after all you will be the one undoing them at the side of the road when you get a flat!

Ive done them up 105n/m and they don't feel that tight to be honest

Just a nadge tighter I suppose

90newton metres from autodata sheet!

Thats surely not right. 105n/m doesnt seem tight. so gone to 108n/m.

My DS3 was 112n/m

Too low iirc. 110 is what I go too

 

[chris blue]

Too low iirc. 110 is what I go too

Sounds pretty good.

 

[imprezaworks]

The wheels haven't fallen off

Im sure i read once that it was 85nm? Seems too low.

I personally do mine to 100nm.

There is a tourque setting guide one here iirc.

 

[Jekyll]

Here it is.

I always do mine at 110 personally
