Me too - I'll happily pay a little extra to cover PayPal fees. Anything to save me having to find my chequebook

[mikemph]

Hhhhmmmmm cheque book, think I remember how to use that. Don't you need one of those ink scriber things think it's called a pen or something. Been years since I have used a cheque lol I am also happy to add a little extra to cover the fees that Paypal charge for receiving money.

rob, ive got a PP account if you want to do it taht way... but cheques although a bit ghey would be better as it saves having to add 20p + 3-4% or whatever PP rip you off for these days.

Any chance of someone who understands these things figuring out roughly what they should be torqued to (assuming it's different to the standard bolts)

How do you torque an allen head bolt, do you need to buy an allen key adaptor for the torque wrench

[mikemph]

Yep halfrauds do them btw

[mandarinvx]

Cool, another reason for me to add to the tool kit then

[Baron Von Scubadaddy]

I know this is a silly question but.......... this is a simple wheels off replace bolts type job

That's my understanding.

Although if your existing bolts have started to go they can apparently be a bit of a pain to remove (as they're no longer straight!)

Mike_VX Is the only reason for ordering 2 sets to have a spare or am I missing something? I thought there were 2 bolts per wheel, hence one set would do the whole car? If I need 2 sets, then I'll have 2, but as they're uprated you'd hope they wouldn't break at any point in the future wouldn't you?

One set will be enough to do the entire car. However, it's safest to replace them each time rather than re-use them, which means that they should (ideally) be replaced each time you get the car geo'd. I'm buying a few sets because they're cheap enough that I might as well keep some for next time I get the car done.

[slindborg]

well to do these bolts up you would need an allen -> ractchet adaptor anyway so the torque wrench bit is kinda arbitraty. I'd just do them up 'king tight lol.

You need a set of these

I thought the main cause of hub carrier bolts deforming was due to them being over-tightened and they needed to be torqued up correctly?

Cheers, saw a set in Screwfix cat for a tenner today, along with a torque wrench for £14

See this pdf of torque values of different grade metric bolts, clicky

Edit: 1 kgm = 9.81 Nm
