    As I indicated above, the instructions for skimming the brake drums require the studs to be torqued to 5 mkg (36 lbs.ft).

    I think that this can be assumed to be the operational wheel nut torque as, presumably, the intention is to simulate the “bolted up” condition, duplicating any distortion of the drum when the wheel is fitted.
