Centre lock Wheels

[ufo 2 nob]

Can anyone tell me the correct lbs ft to torque the centre lock wheels.I think its about 185 but dont want them to fall off!

According to the downloadable instruction manual on the radical sites it's 200ft/lbs ... thats gonna need a hell of a breaker bar

My manual states 250lbs - race Radical Prosport. Teng do a normal size torque wrench (about £250) that manages this, or you buy a large torque wrench for about £400 which will do the same thing. This one has a large spring in the middle and 'breaks' when the required torque has been reached. I have both nothing between them really, go for the cheaper one!

Thanks guys,when i took them off one was in excess of 250lbs,i had to borrow a very large snap on torque wrench.

Silly question but how do you torque them up to 250ft/lbs with out the wheel rotating?

Foot on brake pedal...

Yep thats it,the wife dont fit so you ask a friend to take the drivers seat and hit the brake pedal.

I guess if you dont use the brake you could bend the wishbones.

£400!!! Halfrauds do a monster one that costs considerable less than this - surely more like £50 but I can't remember.
