Torque wrench settings

[Rigger64]

Well i use a 450mm Breaker bar & give a good shove & check them every so often.
So in my opinion Tight & check the every so often.

Rather than start another thread, I'll resurrect this one.
75 series with 6 stud wheels and now non split steel wheels, what torque setting, I have found 157nm or 116 ft/lb but unsure whether this refers to 6 or 5 stud wheels, workshop manual has zip for wheel settings
Have always used a brace with a seems tight enough approach, never had a wheel come off nor has it been impossible to remove when I have done it this way, can't say the same when tyre fitters put them on sometimes
Curious to see what I'm actually doing them up at as if they are too tight may save some effort

I had a blow out on the way to Brisbane a few weeks ago , this was after having a wheel alignment done just prior . I could not undo the nuts by my self . I had to get another fat guy to stand on it while I got stuck in to it too. so the torque specks were rattle gun tight . This is about were they should be although please look for specs inside your owners manual first.

The 5 Stud cruisers are M14 and with steel rims are recommended to be 210Nm
the alloys wheels with Toyota washer nuts same studs are recommend to be 140nm

6 stud M12 cruisers from memory are
About 116Nm
But not 100% on the M12 some one with a users manual will be able to confirm

Nearly every mechanic I know uses these Style extensions.
So from a distance it will always look like a full noise rattle gun.

Different extension bar colours for different tensions . You just need to avoid the silver ones lol

Got anything from the current century . Inches, ft-lb, inches again, what does that all mean?

You would be hard pushed finding a torque wrench without imperial settings because a major portion of world wide industry still use imperial . its not hard at all to convert from metric to imperial . Primary school level of education today addresses this . I did say to refer to your own owners manual before using that spec sheet as people have already said there is a huge range of torque settings with the same stud size. Nuts and rim design change a lot . check out the Toyota specs above then compare them to the lug nut chart .

Local "Tyre Power" Boys in Wonthaggi use a rattle gun, then follow up by hand tightening.
