Back on topic I though all torques quoted were for “lightly oiled.” as in some light machine oil. But I use copper grease on wheel nuts, and also twitch them up after a few miles rather than muller them first go.
Plenty here thank youBanned if you need a tub I’ve some under the counter
Lubricant | Torque Reduction (%) |
---|---|
Graphite | 50 - 55 |
White Grease | 35 - 45 |
SAE 30 oil | 35 - 45 |
SAE 40 oil | 30 - 40 |
No lube | 0 |
So, all the wheels are on, little dab of copper on each nut.
How long a scaffold tube shall I use to torque them, and how many bounces for a 15 stone bloke?
the danger ,as already correctly mentioned in 2 or 3posts above is that grease/lubricant will make it easy to over tighten them , definitely doesnt help a torque wrench to click off where it should do.So, all the wheels are on, little dab of copper on each nut.
