Does anyone what to torque the nuts to when using an anti-seize compound?

You should always follow torques specs. You need to use a lubricant that is compatible with torque sensitive assemblies. If not, the 'other' lubricants will give a false reading - you will have over torqued the assembly. Torquing stretches bolts, that's part of the plan. Over torquing simply over stretches bolts and they either snap right away or under load...usually when you least expect it.

Look up Nylock and search for NYTORQ lubricant - this product is new, but is used primariliy for speeding up torque sensitive operations along assembly lines.

 

While Meb is correct . . .
Maybe the better question is: Does anyone know what the "correct" thread lubricant is when torquing lug bolts (or lug nuts) to factory specs against aluminum wheels? (The Bantley Mini manual does not specify.)

Thanks

 

For what it's worth, I simply clean nuts and bolts and install without any lub. Never had any trouble. Winter wheels can be a little difficult come spring time, but that's been it for me. Never really a problem.

I can suggest lightly lubricating the surface of the brake hub so the wheel doesn't stick to it.

 

i dont use any anti-seize either... never plan to..
