Title: 8-spoke Torque Specs
Post by: Rick Meredith on October 06, 2017, 23:11:50 pm
I'm looking for the torque spec for the nuts that hold the wheel halves together and the same spec for the lugs.

Thanks

Rick, I don't know the answer but I'm pretty sure there's a topic about this already on here. I had a set of 8-spokes that I was keeping for a rainy day (now sold to pay for a vet's bill for a cat!) which is why it sticks in my mind.

Hey Rick . . . somewhere I have an instruction sheet that was included with my 5-spokes . . . it is generic and has info for several of the two-piece wheels.
If ya want, I can try to find it and tell ya what it says . . .

According to the EMPI instruction sheet . . .
"Tighten lock nuts to . . . 15 to 20 foot pounds for 4 lug VW wheel"

As for the anniversary . . . If I can make it, I would love to be there!
