torgue wheeltnuts and more cars in thailand

[retell]

hello i am looking for a list of the torgue for my own toyota vigo smartcab 2010

it got light metal wheels

i do have a torguewrench and i am planning on doind a bit more with that than just some maintanance on my own car

is there some sort of list that does have alll those specs , the ones i can find stop at the 2005 hilux

normally i would just put them at 140 NM

but just to make sure better have the specs

i sw how they did it at the garages around here , they just put in the nuts with the pneumatic hammer , not even crosswise

and after they put it really tight they sometimes check with their torgue wrench but that does click any way ( seem them use the same torgue wrench also for use as just a big lever and if it still dont get loose the have this 2 meter steel pive to slide over it so make sure the pretty expensive piece of tool is completely useless

I can't find a table for the Vigo, but most pickup trucks seem to ask for a TORQUE of about 100Nm so I'd go with that, you'll be able to get them off with a regular wheelbrace too.

I've never used a torque wrench on wheel nuts, tighten them until they 'crack' and they won't come off in a hurry.

Rarely do myself but just do them up 'tight' with a standard X nut brace. Usually have to use a 3 foot extension to undo them though.

Well found TD, seems the Hilux on alloys is 120

ok that should be saying from 2005 and younger in that list , thanks so that makes it 120 Nm ,just for fun gonna check what it says now

hahaa fist check bolt 1-145 2-160-3 stopped checking after 180 4-160 last 175

this car has always been at a toyota garage for service

wow if i worked like this @ Kwit-fit in my days in Holland would get fired on the spot

You can adjust the rattle gun. I would do one up with the rattle gun and then check to see if it's torque just right, if not undo the nut and try with another click on the adjuster.

like they do it here they have a low setting on the rattlegun but keep going at it for 10 seconds then its still tight beyond belief

Please don't use rattle guns on alloy wheels, you will destroy the coating.

I think the mentality is sometimes 'more is better'. If it says tyre pressure should be 30 psi then surely 50 must be better. Same with torque 200, or max for the gun, must be better than 120 . NOT especially for alloy wheels.

An air gun set at a pre determined torque setting will stop tightening even if you go on for 10 minutes.

Most nuts for alloys have a washer so no problem with alloy, BUT never removed a nut from my ride in LOS so don't know if this practice has been done away with. After an air gun has done it's job then a torque wrench is used to confirm the wheel makers setting.

Agreed on the torque wrench setting, but 'Maximum' is often thought of as better.

Don't tell Somchai that....he'll just go and wind the compressor up....which won't do anything either!
