Torque Values for wheels
I was wondering what 33 lbs of torque means (or whatever value) when tightening or losening the bolts on our wheels. Sorry I suck at physics.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/IMG]

You're gunna need more than that for your wheels!!! use 75-80 foot pounds of torque.. get a torque wrench at a hardware store, they have a little scale on them to read the proper reading... some are even digital!!!

Rep Power: 0 For torque the units are ft/lbs. in the SI system it is N/m(newton/meters). Its is force at a distance. So at a foot away(lever - torque wrench) it would take 30 lbs of force to budge the wrench(at the handle of course).
