Hey guys, quick question, I don't have any manuals with me. What would you torque stock wheels too? Thanks

Accord Man · 10-23-2001, 11:36 AM

You mean the nuts?

Cause if so, I havent a clue?!

I just tighten them enough so they wouldnt get loose, but not too much to f*** up the thread.

94_AcCoRd_EX · 10-23-2001, 01:11 PM

Yeah, there is a specific number to torque them to if you have a torque wrench, and I was wondering what it is. I'm going to go buy a torque wrench because it is SO much better to use.

In what does it help?

There are many applications where a recommended torque is given to best tighten w/o overtightening a bolt. One of those is lugs. I read a story on SRO where a guy was racing, had overtorqued lugs, wrecked his car, and died. That is an extreme case, but you get the point.

I am almost positive that all Honda's require that torque spec. However, I will check.

Alright, thanks Big J!

Anyone have any recommendations on a decent torque wrench for under $100? I know good ones are more expensive, but I really don't want to spend that much right now.

Check at Sears. Craftsman makes excellent tools with lifetime warranties, and good prices.

As far as the TQ specs, I can not find any other specs. So it looks like all Hondas are 80

94_AcCoRd_EX · 10-25-2001, 06:43 PM

Thanks for the help Big James!

94_AcCoRd_EX · 10-26-2001, 01:51 AM

I know this is off of the subject, but what do you torque the spark plugs to? I'm looking to get a good all purpose wrench, not two with different ranges.

Accord Man · 10-26-2001, 10:32 AM

for me it was 13 lbs-ft

Thanks, I just wanted a general range. That should be perfect.

Accord Man · 10-26-2001, 01:07 PM

So how long are you getting yours?

I'm gonna get one as well..

I'm not 100% sure yet. I'll probably pick one up on Monday. I'm at my parents' house right now for the weekend.

Accord Man · 10-27-2001, 01:57 PM

Alright then..

Once you get yours, please let me know what size you got.

Well, I haven't purchased one yet... I kind of put my car on the back burner and bought some new paintball equipment. Anyways, this is one that I was looking at.

over torqueing the lug nuts will warp your rotors because of the pressure on them, that is really tight though.
