Torque and Torque Wrench

[amitasdhir]

Does anyone know at what torque should Pajero NW 2011 Diesel wheel nuts should be tightened at?

Which torque wrench to get? Any recommended brands or any torque wrench off ebay would do?

115Nm +/- 10Nm

If it's just for doing wheel nuts then a cheaper one will do just fine. If you're going to be doing some engine building then more expense may be justified.

Aldi, has them for $25 at the moment. 3/8 or 1/2 ????

for wheel nuts, not sure which ones I need? 3/8 or 1/2? :-|

any idea?

1/2" - without a doubt.

I think the most important thing is to get all the wheel nuts to the same torque and not over tightened. I doubt a few Nm either way will make much difference. To this end I carry one of the Aldi torque wrenches set at 110Nm. I find it great and having a long handle there is plenty of leverage.

As it is reversible in the bush it can also be used to loosen wheel nuts and thus saves carrying extra tools.

Thanks for the tip, just got back from Aldi after picking one up in my lunch break. My old one died a couple of years ago and due to cost hadn't got around to replacing it.

Best not to leave it stored under tension, it will eventually cause the mechanism to fail http://www.mountztorque.com/learning...-torque-wrench
