Re: Wheel Nut Over Torque ALL all

posted by  someone claiming to be Steve Ringlee on  Fri Dec 7 10:06 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I just tell them that I want the wheels "hand-torqued" to 63-ft lb, that brake rotor warping is a major problem with these cars, that if they use an impact wrench they will definitely warp the rotors, and that if the rotors warp I will hold them responsible. I also make sure they write "hand torque to 63-ft lb" on the service order. That usually motivates them to both use a hand wrench and make sure the tech takes the time to do the job. You are not popular, but then the rotors are yours, not theirs.
