Wheel bolts torque??

[Steve]

Is it 100nm?

 

[Fred@BTM]

offically 90nm, but i use 100

 

[Beef-Mc]

I usually use 100 nm.

 

[Steve]

Cheers just swapping wheels over for tomorrow

is this the correct torque setting for a mark 2 172? and also would this be the same torque setting for the locking wheel nut? i've had in the past the locking wheel nut not tightening up to the same torque setting as the rest of the wheel bolts.

lol, i got a torque wrench mate so not a drama to get the bolts torqued up to the correct settings. will 100nm be ok on the locking wheel bolt?

 

[vala]

anyone??

 

[Beef-Mc]

I torque all mine upto 100nm, including the locking nut, never had a problem with it.

 

[d4ve86]

yeah it will be fine!

 

[vala]

coolio, cheers guys.

just to throw a spanner in the works just found out that my locking wheel nuts have been waiting for my return home (thanks coolchriss555k), opened them up to find out the leaflet in there it mentions to torque the bolts to 130Nm....hmmmm what to do, 130Nm or 100Nm??

 

[rawbhp]

do 182 owners use 100nm too?

 

[ben_p]

yes.

i didn't want to start a new thread so i will ask here.
The wheel bolt torque is 100nm but what is the torque figure when you come out from a track session and you checking your wheel bolts when your hub / wheel bolts are really hot?

I use 105nm day to day.

You don't want to be tightening them all the time when hot as you'll stretch the bolts.

After the first session, let it cool a bit and then check again to 105nm. Then again after lunch, they shouldn't loosen tbh mine never do.

Ok thanks for the advice.

 

[imprezaworks]

yep 105 is what i do them too.

 

[RS Charlie]

I use 90 on mine. So far the wheels have not fallen off :lol:.

 

[JamesBryan]

90nm is the rating for steelies.

 

[Tony Hunter]

We always use 110
