Dnk Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Are they nuts and bolts or just bolts into the alloy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Check with Ibrar but if i remember correctly we did mine to 22 ft lbs with a dab of thread lock and that was with a nut & bolt set up using M7 X 1 and with 45 bolts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Sorry mate i might have misled you there. Mine were 45 bolts in each wheel !! from what i've read you use a less amount of torque compared to a wheel with fewer bolts. No idea how true that is though We went round all the bolts getting them finger tight then used a criss cross pattern torquing them up.

Jellybean Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Cool , thanks ; taught I will need to do a criss cross pattern torquing them up, when I was undoing them 2 mm of thread was through the nut so will aim for that Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
