Wedge Wheel Nut Torque

[chapperssx]

Hi peeps what is the collective thoughts on the correct wheel nut torque on a wedge ??

[adam quantrill]

I usually put my foot on the standard wheelbrace so I think about 60-80lbf? I have known garages do them up tighter so I don't think it's a problem.

Never had them come loose in 15+ years and just use the foot method for final tighten, no torque wrenches!

According to the hand book 40lb/ft 54Nm seems a bit low but that's what Im using and had no problems over the last 3yrs

Thanks guys I know it sounds a little bit of a simple question, but I didn't want to over do it !

Delilah 's rear nearside hub nut was just threads from dropping off today, little cows wheel was looser than a loose sloppy thing!
Wheel nuts I just like FT.

If it's anything to go by, the mk2 Granada wheelnuts are 85Nm
Always done mine to 90Nm and never had any problems with wayward nuts
