Correct foot/lbs for lugnuts?
 

Anyone know which page of the owners manual tells the correct ft/lbs of torque for the wheel lugnuts? I know it's 80 ft lbs from another thread but I just want to see it in the manual. Ive looked but maybe I'm just blind:icon14:

83-85ft tq

80 ft/lbs on page WT-46 of the service manual, or page 6-7 of the Owner's Manual.

FWIW, it's page WT-99 in the 2009 FSM - "Wheel nut tighting torque 108 N·m (11 kg-m, 80 ft-lb)"

Guess I should have mentioned the service manual I quoted was the 2012 version...

80ft/lbs. Never when hot.

85-90ft/lbs if you got one of them cheap *** torque wrenches from harbor freight. :bowrofl:

Does anybody know what size oem lug nut that is for the rays rim. Trying to buy a nice socket and breaker bar online while at work. The oem one is weak as far as leverage goes. Thanks

oem lug nut is 21 mm

if you haven't bought anything yet.. I have these and they'll prevent you from scratching up your wheels.. Amazon.com: Chicago Pneumatic SS413WP 1/2" Drive 3 Piece Metric Deep Wheel ProtectorImpact Socket Set: Home Improvement

^^ I've got something similar for my SSR lug nuts. Works perfect. :tup:

Thanks

It did not really give a description are the 3 sockets 17, 19, 21mm with a 1/2 inch drive?

yep

I have this set and it is very nice

Wow, ordering! Good find! :tup:

I work in a tire shop and according to our system and the annually sent out torque charts from Michelin, say for our vehicle 70-87 but we always go with the max which is 87.

I use 85-90 at the track set with this:
Brown Line Metal Works BLD0212 Digital Torque Wrench : Amazon.com : Automotive
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg

i use 83-85 and re-torque a few times.

on my snap-on traditional torque wrench (twisty handle dial with value etched into the shaft) i need to turn down the dial to the minimum value after use. is that the same way on the digital ones? ive not tried a digital one... :confused:

No you do not need to turn down the dial on the Brown Line one on Amazon. It says it on that page listed.

thanks... this is wat is shows on the amazon page... i dont see that part where it says i dont need to dial it back down? :confused:

^^ they thanks. doh, i didnt know the page scrolled so far down. lol

Just a stupid question. If I want to check the torque of the wheel lugnuts, can I do it with 4 wheels on the ground? Or the car needs to be up?

Even though I knew the answer I am glad I clicked on this thread. Just bought these thanks for the link.

This thread was answered in the first 2 posts but yet now has 28 responses you guys need to find better sh!t to talk about instead of the torque of lug nuts.

There is a thread in the general section on toe nail clipping and the proper angle on the clippers,proper force to apply,plus what to do if you draw blood.:shakes head:

like your same posts about fuse pull? x100000000000000000000000000 :icon17:

?:icon14:

There is some good information in this thread during those 28 responses. Maybe if you read them you would understand. There is information not only on torque, but has sockets (couple different sets) and torque wrench information as well.

:icon18:I don't have to read them I have been working on cars for 27yrs.
