what torque to use on wheelstuds?

[bozothenutter]

as bove, will be using loctite aswell.

use locktite on the stud into the hub, but not on the nut. Stud does not need to be very tight into the hub, just nipped

You can tighten the nut onto the stud to a higher torque than a wheelbolt. First check if the manufacturer has a suggested torque, if not, I would suggest 130Nm on a clio

ok thanks!
so just tight on the hub...isn't 130Nm a bit high? I always use 110Nm.
wasn't planning on loctiting the nut...lol

They are a parallel thread anyway,just locktite the end and put them in so they sit flush with the back of the disc.

depends on the kit. The one we've fitted to the 205 has a blank section, so can bottom out
