stevasaurus 22,257 #4 Posted May 31, 2018 you want to use the nylon nuts. That's why it is not a lot. Actually, I think 20 ft lbs is what the torque is for lug nuts on your car tires. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,257 #15 Posted June 2, 2018 If it is the bolt between the head and the neck...it is a head bolt and requires the biggest torque wrench in the tool box. The one with foot pounds. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,076 #17 Posted June 2, 2018 @stevasaurus Don't over torque the nuts , may bust the aluminum side plates that holds Skonky's ears. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 39,032 #18 Posted June 2, 2018 Ok the Big Reveal! Ol' Case de ElCamino is going to have to find his tool box to see if he has the "Proper Tool(s) to torque my "head bolts" And here they are: You will need the tamper proof bit on the left and this left handed Metric torque wrench! No substitutes allowed as they will void all warranties! 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
