Hi does anybody know the correct torque settings for these as last night I changed my disks and pads all round but when it came to removing 1 of my wheels two of the b*****d's snapped and resulted in me having to smash it out with a hammer and various screw drivers and other tools :-(

As you can see it's not the greatest look and I would like to know what torque settings are recommended there at 110nm at the mo but I'm not sure if that's tight enough or to tight please help as I really don't want this to happen again :-(

 

110 will be fine, thats what i torq mine up to

 

I believe it's 98 Nm according to the repair manual.

 

Mine are normally done to 95.

according to autodata 78 to 98 nm depending on the year 1994 to 2000
2001 on 88nm

 

98nm is what it states in the manual, i just do mine to a straight 100

 

I mean the lightweight aluminium nuts

 

Should be the same no matter if they are standard nuts or light weight nuts.... should put a bit of copper grease around the threads of the nuts to stop then seizing on (which sounds like what happened to your before if they snapped)

 

i did the same and had torque setting at 85nm as recommended. Not sure if i had the same ones as you but they look similar and i still have the other ones, more than happy to post you one FOC on monday if you pm me your address.

 

That's really good of you mate but I've ordered some locking nuts now lol

 

Cheers anyway mate

 

So your saying if I use copperslip it shouldn't do it again??
