markb905 Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 for a de Dion, and 19mm nuts! am i right in thinking 60ftlb is correct?. having read a number of postings it seems high but it's what Caterham Midlands suggested. Mark Bennett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying kiwi Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 Mark, You don`t need to torque them surely. Mark Barrett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buda Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 I'm not sure where I got this from but I thought it was 55lb, never torque them myself, just do them up tight and hope they don't fall off smile.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 hello, I do lots of track days here in the states, often have wheels/tires off between sessions so I've torqued my wheel nut more than most. 40-45 lb.ft. is all that is needed. I usually torque to 35, then 40, then finish off at 42. I check the torque often and have never found a nut to have backed off.
