Wheel nut torque?

90 ish

 

78

 

78 ;p

 

i did mine to which was tight not tight like those fukn air machines that make it soo hard to get off , i used as socket on mine as have those low profile wheel nuts as they set inside the rims

 

as tight as you can crank them on without breaking them..... I don't think I've ever used a torque wrench to check......but I've never had one come loose or fall off!

 

Yeah, but crank too tight and you could warp your rotors, which is no fun. 75-80 ft lbs is good.

 

i tryed 70-75 lbs with mine, using a bending torque wrench, It didnt seat right, wheel vibration when braking. I went up to 90 and everything was good. A lot of shops put them at 100, little too high for my liking.

 

IIRC, factory spec is 73 ft lbs. but has anyone here ever lost a wheel?

 

Nope. We used the 80 ft lbs torque stick on my Celica, worked fine. 73 seems a bit low, I think the Chilton manual lists specs as about 78ft lbs.

 

78 WTF

 

Double-Nope. I just checked it and we're both incorrect.
The Toyota BGB and owner's manual specs it as 76 ft lbs.

 

aw shit my bad hahaha

 

We're all in the ballpark, a few ft lbs here or there aren't going to affect it much.
