L3800 Rear Wheel Torque Specs.

[roadracer86]

Hi folks,
Going to be adding a couple 2 inch Bora wheel spacers to the rear wheels on my 2012 L3800 this weekend. Anyone have any experience or know the ft pound torque vales on the rear wheels?

I thought I read somewhere it was 150 ft lbs? Seems excessive, anyone know for sure?

I would think that would be too high too. On a ford 8n the specs where 300 f/p at the one central nut!

On your spacers and wheels - I would think something like 50-80 would be a plenty but looking up the specs on that model - you are EXACTLY correct......215 Newton-Meter (N-m) = 158.57586 Foot-Pound (ft-lb)

Thanks for the reply; Got home and pulled the manual and the rears are 160 ft lbs......no way am I going that tight on those lugs. Besides the biggest torque wrench I have only goes to 145 lbs.

145 sounds like a good number
