I went for a ride toady, and my right front tire went flat on me. I did not notice any puncture marks, I am hoping that I just knocked it off the rim.

I removed the tire and the manual says to use a torque wrench when you put it back on. They recommend 56lbs of pressure. I do not own a torque wrench. Does anyone have any suggestions and how tight I should reapply it. IE.........1/4 turn after tightness, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

You can't really go wrong. Go to a lug that is tight and un-do it. How ever much pressure you used to loosen that one us to tighten them all down.

In the words of my father, "Just snug'em up good."

 

I just impact it on there. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

I like them only snug... if you put them on by impact.... if you need to take a tire off in the woods good luck looking for an impact gun there. If they are snug they will not come off, if they are on by impact too and too tight they will snap under pressure.

 

I had mine to tight, and warped my rims, luckily it was fixed!! But most of the time, if you warp them, your screwed and your tires wobble. I picked up a torque wrench to be safe! Its alot cheaper that way than having to get new rims!

 

it doesnt really matter just tighten enough so you know it wont come off

 

yeah... you can feel it when you got it tight. it doesn't have to be perfect. just put them on tight. you are good to go. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I've got my impact set to where i can still un-tighten them with a rachet... its not an issue really.

 

Snug is fine.
