Default Dont get stuck with ally wheels.

Just a note to those with ally wheels. Tyres last so long these days that low mileage cars are not having the wheels removed very often. I have seen no end of ally wheels seized on and almost impossible to remove. Great if you happen to be in a garage but hell at the side of a wet road. Take the wheels off and lightly sand the hub where it fits over the bearing. Then copper ease spread thinly. A friends wheel was so seized that the knocking required to get it off damaged the wheel. Expensive. Cheers

Moral:- do not overtighten wheel nuts. They should be done up to the correct torque figure with a torque wrench. On most 900/850 series and I suspect the more recent models the correct torque is stamped on the front wheel bearing caps and you would all be wise to stick religiously to that figure. My caps state 85Nm (940) but this figure will differ for other models. There was a listing given in one of the back copies of "Technical Driver".

All the best, Peter.

As this is an American site they appear to have run into some conversion difficulties. 700/900/90 should be 85Nm not 90Nm as on the quoted website.

All the best, Peter.
