wheel nuts torque

[jotajoe]

Well, next week I have new tyres fitted to my 1980 Jota. I've always torqued up the wheel nuts using the time honoured " arm meter" but I'm wondering if there is an acknowledged torque setting for doing the front and rear respectively.

Same as spark plugs then......

The RGS manual says 52-59 NM for the axle nuts.

I reckon if you strip one of those, you'll not be moaning about a heavy jota clutch as you'll have muscles aplenty!
