Torque settings

[Ianboom]

Hi, I'm after some torque settings if anybody can help??

Removed my stub axles today, ordered replacements from renault, one will be here friday, the other up to 15 working days!!

Anyway, I need the settings for;

4 star head scres that hold the wheel bearing to the stub axle
3 hex head screws that hold the bottom suspension arm to the casting that bolts to the front shock
2 x disc retaining screws
Tie rod joint nut that mounts into bottom suspension arm
Track rod end
Top swivel nut
Bottom swivel pinch screw

Cheers, Ianboom.

Not sure on the specific figures, but if you sign up as a paid member you can get access to a very handy document in the 'How To' section

You're not from the TT forum are you??

All I got were messages like that until I gave in!!

What is the handy document??

LOL no but its part of my role on the forum to encourage people to become paid members

You can gain free access to the pdf workshop manual that you can buy from places like ebay for £15ish i think it is

If you measure the diameter of the bolts it's easy. Is your torque wrench in Newton metres or lb ft?

In lb ft it's easy increments.

6mm = 10lb ft
8mm = 20lb ft
10mm = 35lb ft
12mm = 45lb ft

Hope this helps

Replaced my bottom swivels, so could write a 'how to'.
