HUB to DISC torque spec?

Post by steptoe » Fri Jun 25, 2010 12:54 am

I cannot find the torque spec for rear or front hub to brake disc rotor bolts. Funny feeling Gregories manuals have it for fronts 14mm head, M10 thread. Not find my Gregory or in factory manual - odd

anyone got specs on L SEries for above?

I would have said FT setting but 58nm works for me :D

One thing is to make sure both mating surfaces are clean and rust free :cool:

58 converts to fot lbs for me on the 'net, then I scratch it into the manual you have there olddog, dunno where mine is .....

They are same size thread the front hub bolts so that will do nicely, thankyou. The holes do not line up front disc to rear hub - nice bit of idiot proofing for the trivia buffs.

New disc rotor is shiny as and the hub has been wire brushed and painted up. Thanks all

Back when I replaced discs on my old Fairy I followed instructions to buy new grade 8 bolts - got them from Swanston Engineering in Melb. NEVER seen anyone else go to that length since.

4WS is something that dies in the arse mid nineties - best left there. 4WS on painted shed floors, a bit of slip and turn and things go weird and out of control

Just like 3 spoke rims should've been left where they were the day they were invented...
