What is the Torque on wheel lug nuts on old vbb. I found the hub nut torque, the torque on the screw that hold the two rim parts together, but nothing on the lug nuts that hold the rim to the drum?
Thanks!

Not really, I know those two list, but as i said in my previous post and as you can see, the wheel lug nut not are not listed, only the hub nut and bolt for the two parts rim.

I saw that but since this is for the p series, that has no lug nut, this torque setting can only be for the bolt holding the two rim parts together and not the lug nut as an old vbb.

No, that one is easy and written everywhere, it's the 4 lug nuts on old 8inch wheel that I can't find the torque spec!

dude, no need to get chirpy.
you were at best a little indefinite about what you *actually* were asking about. and then, you go and fuggin change course entirely. you want a definitive? run that bitch on till it strips and back it half a turn. otherwise 20 lb/ft is more than enough. or like, tight as balls with a 1/4" ratchet or enough that you're comfortable with on a 3/8's don't forget the cotter pin! |
