    This document provides torque settings in Nm for wheel nuts and bolts on various commercial vehicle makes and models. It emphasizes the importance of checking torque settings regularly and adhering to manufacturer specifications using a torque wrench. It recommends tightening nuts in a crosswise pattern and rechecking after 30 miles as coatings can wear off and nuts may settle. Impact wrenches can be inaccurate so torque wrenches are preferred and regular checks are important.

    To ensure wheel nuts/bolts are correctly tightened on


    truck wheels, please note the following:

    a) Torque value:
    It is imperative to adhere to the torque values specified by the
    vehicle manufacturers. On steel rims the wheel nuts should
    always be tightened crosswise.
    b) Torque wrench:
    For reasons of operational safety, the use of a torque wrench
    is recommended as this ensures the prescribed torque values
    are adhered to exactly.
    c) Impact wrench:
    With serial fittings, electric- or air-powered single or multiple
    impact wrenches are frequently used for reasons of efficiency.
    Unless these wrenches are designed for a single nut size using
    the maximum torque permitted by the machine, adhering to
    the correct torque value is usually difficult and depends more
    or less on the skill of the fitter. Regular checks using a torque
    wrench are recommended under all circumstances.

    d) Other:
    Hubs and wheels on all vehicles are coated with primer and
    usually with a top coating to protect them from rust. These
    coatings tend to give after the first few miles. Nuts and bolts
    also need time to settle. It is therefore essential that the wheel
    nuts are checked after the first 30 miles and tightened where
    necessary. Regular checks are also important later, because if
    the wheels are loose, the bolt holes wear ovally and damage
    the wheel bolts.
    Use the prescribed wheel mounting elements.
    Exchange nuts and bolts which are rusty or hard to move.
    Before fitting, remove rust and dirt from the contact area
    around the wheel, axle hub and brake drum.
    An alloy wheel is approximately twice the thickness of a steel
    one, which means that longer wheel bolts are required.
