Hi
Last night, for a change of pace in fibreglass hell, I decided to assemble my wheels. Following the instructions I torqued the bolts that hold the wheel halves together to 90 in/lbs. Looking on the wheel itself, it indicates that 150 in/lbs should be used.
As well, I can’t find a torque value of the main wheel bolts.
Can anyone provide guidance on what torque values to use?
Inquiring minds need to know
Cheers
Les

If I recall correctly, I downloaded some tech info from the Cleveland (Parker or whatever they go by now) website. It included info about breaking in your brakes as well.....
I'll try to find mine...
Good Luck

Les,
What size are the bolts? I would think that unless Van's or MATCO/Cleveland specifies differently, that you'd go ahead and use the normal torque for the bolt size: AN5's would be 100-140 inch-pounds, and AN6's would be 160-190 inch pounds according to AC43-13.

The specs are right on the rims and right in the documentation
that came with the wheels and brake kits.

Hi Tim
For the mains, the documentation says 90 in/lb and the wheel rims says 150
in/lbs. There is no documentation for the nose gear torque specs.
Cheers

Hmmm
Well I feel kind of stupid. I just looked at the wheel docs for the
umpteenth time and realized that I had read them incorrectly. 150 in/lbs of
torque it is on the mains.
