Suggestion

They say it is OK to use 160 on the silver bolts, but I would say that your locking wheel nut key won't thank you if you do.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi , Any one know the torque settings for the wheel nuts as Iam taking the wheels off next weekend to paint the rear hubs . Thanks.

POST 3Original post

I was searching for this myself. The original setting was 96 ft/lb. Since 2013 the setting for 997 has gone to 118 ft/lb. I would stick at the 96 ft/lb for 996 unless someone knows otherwise.
