Anyone know how much to torque the replacement Porsche Boxter hub nuts to ?

FT

Ft or VFT ?

I was sort of looking for something that I could put into my torque wrench though

Hope you have a very meaty wrench...IIRC it is around 225ft/lbs or 250ft/lbs,or as Adrian said...FT.


As Martin says below 270mn...still ft, not the vft i posted above...sorry

Mate...if your rear hub nut had come undone as many times as mine has, you'd know it off pat too

130NM sounds high for the wheel nuts. Is that in the owners book? I thought it was 100NM

Better tighten mine up then!

It's important that you check your nuts regularly ! especially if you drive a Noble and have big ones !
