Reply To: Wheel nut conundrum

[BernieParticipant]

Just to add to the lack of precise information on this subject ……

The workshop manual refers to fitting wheels in a couple of sections.  In each case the instruction is simply “Fit wheels” in the instruction section and, in the tool column, it only states “Wheelbrace”.

When using a wheelbrace one has no means of checking the applied load so, on that basis, I would conclude no precise torque was actually specified for the wheelnuts.  That is an assumption and I shall be very happy to be proved wrong.
