110nm is about 81 lb-ft - that's quite a difference! where can we find out for sure? (this, by the way, is one of the spec's I'd think should be in the Owners' Handbook - they show you how to find the spare in a MC, but don't say how to use it?!)

The 2002 Owners Manual, p. 109, calls for 72 ftlb. /100 nm., that is what I have always used with no problems.

Thanks, Dukesantos! ... and I thought i'd read everything in there ... like a good movie: you see something new each time you watch it ...
.... but now that's three figures to go by ...

The 2003 factory owner's manual that came with my MCS states 88.5 ft./lbs on p.115, FWIW.

Thanks for all the input. I best read Rudolph's manual again. I missed the wheel lug bolt torque spec.
