Torque wrench

[Biggs]

Saan makakabili nito, yung mid-range brand lang? Ito yung pang-torque sa lugs ng wheels.

[XTO]

sa suking auto supply meron normally beam type ang available.

btw ilang newton metre (N m) or pounds-feet (lb-ft) ang required sa wheel nut mo? afaik the tighter the better. i only use torque wrench if the tightness of screws and nut is crucial.

Thanks!

Wheel nut torque: 130 Nm

ako din alam ko torque wrench sa citical parts lang like rocker arm bolts...

anyway, sir biggs is that constant Nm for all wheels?

Yes, it is.

ako lagi meron dalang torque wrench para sa gulong kapag na flat...mas maganda kasi kung perfect yung higpit ng nut...eh meron kasi kaming torque wrench...kaya gamit ko...

Yes, it is.

biggs,
please don't give the wrong information. not all vehicles have the same torque settings on the lug nuts. the deciding factors by the engineers are:
a. stud bolt threaded diameter
b. thread pitch (measurement of thread crest intervals in mm. or threads
per inch)
c. the strength grade of the stud bolt or the lug nut
d. the number of lug nuts on the hub
e. designed axle load
to make sure, please refer to the owner's manual or the shop repair manual. and "the tighter is better" maybe dangerous as the stud bolt will stretch beyond its designed tensile strength and when you hit a pothole- voila! you might see a flying wheel
