Bolts & Nuts on 2 pcs Wheel

**AusAccord** · 06-11-2009 12:51 PM

try to restore my 2 pcs wheel and wondering if all the bolts & nuts around the rim need to be torqued to the same force? some of the nuts already rusted and where i can purchase the new one (may be stainless steel) for replacement?

tried the manufacturer of the wheel for the bolts?

ive just tightened all of them up to as tight as i could lol. and had to get new nuts, cause old ones rusted out

it depends which wheel brand etc. diff torque settings.

new studs are pretty pricey

when bolting them back up youll need to use sealant.

check out wheelwhores.com heaps of info on refurbing 2/3 piece wheels, where to buy studs etc etc.

When i did my old panasports I just torqued them all up evenly (working my way around from opposite to opposite) to about 'wrist tight'.. without putting any effort in from my arm. Very accurate I know :P
