Never on the mating surface. I torque to 450 foot lbs minus 20 percent so about 360 foot lbs.

Sounds like a reputable tire shop. Too many gun them on to higher torque.P Quote Selected
Re: Lug nut torque Reply #6 – October 06, 2020, 12:34:00 pm Here is an older Alcoa manual which will give you everything you need to know. Torque settings are in section 5-2. Lots of info on lubing of threads & hubs. It's a 2012 so will apply to coaches of most of our members.https://www.alcoawheels.com/alcoawheels/catalog/pdf/servicemanual-english.pdfKeith Quote Selected

Re: Lug nut torque Reply #8 – October 06, 2020, 12:58:12 pm You also have to keep in mind that big rigs pull their tires/wheels frequently while RVs may not remove theirs for five or ten years. That's one of the reasons I like to use Never-Seize on the threads and torque to about 360-380 foot lbs rather than letting a shop gun them on to possibly twice as much or more. How many posts have been about replacing the studs with the resulting cost and time lost when a tire had to be changed?A bathroom scale and a 4 foot pipe make it easy to put or take off 90 lbs at the end of the pipe. Since the pipe does not go all the way to the middle of the breaker bar it's inserted in, your hand at the end of the bar give a good 4X multiplication. If. you don't want to pull or push down as hard, a 5 foot pipe could just be divided into the chosen torque figure. Depending on the socket and length of the extension, some kind of an adjustable jack stand may be needed to keep the socket completely on the lug nut.Pierce Quote Selected 2 Likes
