CU2 nut/bolt torque specs

[Kuchiki81]

Does anyone know where to source this information? Specifically I am interested is brake and wheel components. It would be nice to have a source for all specs too. I can't find much info that can be reliably verified out there, where do mechanics get this data?

100% it's FT

[Kuchiki81]

"ft"?

Fukn tight or fairly tight or finger tight all right answers with varying safety margins.

Honda publish workshop manuals that are not for distribution. I haven't acctually come a cross a torque spec list for the CU in my travels sorry mate

[Kuchiki81]

ok, cheers. Maybe there are basic standards for components like brakes and wheels that trained mechanics use...

I think 100 Nm for the lug nuts (wheels) is a good rule of thumb for many cars. I give it extra 20%, 120 Nm for all my cars. Torque is usually proportional to the size of the nuts/bolts and its material (high tensile or not).
Star (opposite) tightening pattern as normal.

This is from TSXclub regarding brake components. I do understand the info is not as reliable as ones from Honda manual.

90-95 nm for hondas iirc

Yes there are standard a for bolt tightening.
It depends on bolt size, grade, thread (fine/ coarse), lube used etc. Also whether it's a single use bolt (eg flywheel bolt ) or multi -use (eg wheel nut )

I'm surprised you can't find that shit in a manual
Have you tried downloading manuals? (Google is your friend )

I have checked the specification for my 2005 CL9 Euro and the torque for the wheel nut is 108 Nm. This should be similar to the CU2 Euro.
I also found some torque spec for the brake system for my car.

service manuals will have it.

there are general guidelines mechanice use for torquing bolts...

That being said you don't necessarily know if they torque them to spec

I have asked my Honda parts guy if I can buy a service/workshop. I have found some possible sources for manuals:
http://www.carservicemanuals.repair7.com
Or get a Haynes manual for the US Accord which may have the torque specs for the brake calipers that would be similar to what I need, not much help if I ever start tinkering with the engine however. Can anyone find an online manual for the CU2 for the Euro or TSX?

[Martin77]

This is an alternative to the haynes manual. This is for the left handed TSX.
