T8 JPE Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Bought me a set of spacers off CS on the weekend. Been looking through the guides section but cannot find one. My question is: What torque do you use on the nuts fitting the spacers to the disk/Hub? Cheers Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudga Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Did mine up just like the wheel nuts used 110 N/m but also some nut lock compound on the threads, checked after 50 odd miles and still fine, also checked after 500 miles and still fine. Just make sure you clean the hub properly before fitting with a bit of emery paper and add a smear of copper ease for when you may want to take them off again if you sell the car.

Darren-B Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Just be careful not to over tighten them as the nuts are very soft and tend to round off, (speaking from expeirence ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
