Rear Axle Torque Setting K6
So this has got me puzzled. The very front of the Haynes manual states 65nm but when I was flicking through the Brake Section, chapter 7 over dinner I noticed in horror K3 and up should be at 100nm. If this is the case then I've got tightening to do, unfortunately I'm not gonna get the wrench back until Friday. Anyone have a definative answer?
Thanks. |

Off the top of my head I cannot remember, been doing it to long that I can feel it in my arm when it is correct.
I think 100Nm is a bit high, 65Nm sounds better. |

Re: Rear Axle Torque Setting K6
Thanks for your replies fellas. I got the wrench back on the rear axle on Friday. The torque wrench is in ft lbs with a nm converter, I had actually tightened to 65ft lbs which is just over 88nm. I tried to tighten the nut more to get to the required 100nm but it was going nowhere, even the wrench was clicking to tell me 100nm had been acheived. So seems as though K6 can't be tightened anything over 88nm, not without wrunging off anyway.
