Akuma77 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 ok i did find somewhere where they said no more than 103 nm .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulgtt Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I always did 112 on the GT4, I think that was what the workshop manual stated. There should be something online for the gen7 too I always do the wheel nuts upto this torque and then check them after 30 miles or so 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be something online for the gen7 too I always do the wheel nuts upto this torque and then check them after 30 miles or so the problem is these are the spline locking type , i mean they are still steel either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaff Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 103 Nm is correct for gen 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuma77 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 103 Nm is correct for gen 7 so that should be the correct measurement for the above wheel nuts too then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foogles Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Someone advised me 70nm when using spacers, should I go tighter? They have been fine for over a year mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev 16v Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Use an extendable wheel wrench, and you can tell when the nuts are tight enough. Absolutely no need to measure Nm. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Extendable-Wheel-Brace-Wrench-Telescopic-Car-Van-Socket-Tyre-Nut-17-19-21-23mm-/141766936365?hash=item2101f7c72d:g:r60AAOSwHnFV69eM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakyparts bolt on spacers state no more than 70lb/ft which is equal to 95Nm. Wouldn't want to overtighten them being alu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
