Torque value for wheels with hydraulic brakes

Postby sonex1678 » Tue Dec 30, 2014 2:09 am

I was hoping that someone could help me with the torque values for the three nuts/bolts used to mate the wheels halves/attach the brake disks. I knew to look in AC 43-13 for the values for the original bolts, but am having a problem finding the value for the bolts/nuts that came with the hydraulic mod kit as they have sonex part numbers.

Use the same torque values as the AN hardware.

Thanks, Joe. One of my tires arrived fairly deformed due to packing compression so I wanted to get it mounted right away to be sure it was fine (will keep an eye on it during the rest of the build). This will be my first action on the build, so I am probably being way over cautious, but better safe than sorry.....
