Hey guys anyone know what the wheel nuts get torqued to on a 1985ish F600, they are M19 (19mm) studs I believe it was.

Thanks in advance

Not sure how much things changed over the years, but '92 is as far back as I have been able to find so far. Not sure if this will help or not...



1992 Wheel Torque Specs...


Disc Wheel Nut 3/4 in - 16 = 450-500 lb-ft (602-677 Nm)

Cast Wheel Rim Nut 3/4 in - 10 = 240-260 lb-ft (325-352 Nm)

Two-Piece Integral Wheel Nut (8-Hole ISO Disc Wheel) 20 mm X 1.5 = 280-330 lb-ft (380-450 Nm)

Two-Piece Integral Wheel Nut (10-Hole ISO Disc Wheel) 22 mm X 1.5 = 400-450 lb-ft (535-602 Nm)

Thanks Guys,

Went and seen local big rig repair shop, shop manager he told us that they call for 500-550 ft lbs but to drop to 425 ft lbs or we would have trouble with breaking studs when driving and thats what was happening and it was being torqued at local tire shop to high (go figure) so now has all new studs and proper torque so we will see how it goes.

Thanks Again

you must have a heck of a torque wrench or a big pipe lol.

Torque figures like that freak me out being used to working on regular cars most of my life lol.
