Torque spec for older bud wheels.

Torque spec for older bud wheels.
Posted: Mon Apr 9, 2007 4:56:33 PM

I have an 85 model Volvo/White daycab that I recently did the brakes on. I torqued the lug nuts to 500ft/lbs because a local dealer told me that, that is the correct torque for older bud wheels, using the two piece lugs. Well, today that was brought into question so I called the dealer back and now they say they don't know what the specs are. Can someone please tell me the correct torque specs for bud wheels, using the two piece lugs on the rears and, of course, one on the steers. I can't seem to find this info anywhere.

Thanks in advance

Richard

The dealer was right. 500 ft/lbs for inner and outer nuts. I have a chart but it's at work.
