torque requirements
 

Does anyone know off hand what the torque is for the hex bolts that hold the front hubs to the hat rotors on an 80's model 240D, and , also, the torque for that bolt in the center of the rear wheel hub when you have the tire & wheel off. Thanks

My FSM says 115 Nm

It depends which version you have, M8 or M12

do it the ole german way

Is the ole german way similar to the "tight as you can... ...plus half a turn"?

torque
 

The 115 nm on the front hubs would be 115x.74=85.1 ft./lbs. Which would seem right to me cause there were very, very tight coming loose. The 30 nm on the rear axle would be 30x.74=22.2 ft./lbs. That sounds good to me cause that bolt is small...don't even want to twist that guy off!! Thanks for the help...much appreciated.

I get 84.82 lb-ft and 22.13 lb-ft respectively. I think this is within rounding error, so go for it.

Trivia for today. Work is measured in foot-pounds, torque is measured in pound-feet.
