Post by thedadio »

As has been pointed out in a thread on the citroen forum recently there is no need to get a 350Nm wrench just for hub nuts. Just do it up really hard with a big long bar - that will be plenty. Once you get above 100 the numbers get largely academic. Just do it up as hard as you can with a 3ft bar and rest assured it will be fine.

If this hub nut is the same size as a Peugeot 305 / Citroen BX then I can lend you a tool.
It is a 3/4" drive T bar with the correct socket. If a 75kg person stands on the end of it then it is the correct torque.
I live in Ruislip.

That bar needs to be a good 17 inches long then at 75kg, for a torque of 236 lb.ft.
