Title: Torque for lugnuts
Post by: JeffM on December 04, 2004, 06:54:27 PM
I have a 1976 440 Clipper 21'. I need to know what to torque the lugnuts to on the back dual and front single wheels. The local tire dealer says 185 ft lbs on back dual wheels and 150 ft lbs on the front. I have seen other information that says 300 on the back and 160 on the front.  The tire dealer says 300 is too much for the bolts on the back dual wheels. Does anyone know the answer to this?  (My torque wrench only goes up to 250 ft lbs.)

Hiyya Jeff....

Dug oiut my owners' manual.  It sez 400-500 for the small inner nuts on the dualies..... 450-500 for the front and large outer dualie ones.
