I will be installing a set of Teraflex wheel spacers today. How much torque is needed?

Thanks!

 

Torque down in star pattern, using LOC-TITE


Torque value is 80/90 lb/ft, then REDO after 500 miles

Thanks, but which loc-tite should I use?

 

Don't know about the TF spacers but Spidertrax recommends 90 ft lbs. Some forum members have reported going as high as 105 ft lbs.

 

Use red locktite on the spacer threads.

 

Red Locktite is used for a more permanent set, and I went 100 ftlb figuring I would check them soon at 90 ftlbs so as to not break loose the locktite.

 

They did not come with loctite and instructions?

No loctite and the instructions don't go into detail :-(

 

Nice no torque specs on instructions. TeraFlex is updating those instructions now, jayrav thanks for the call.

85lbs

 

Been running my Teraflex spacers for about 8 months no issues they have worked great. Used Red Loctite. I now have to get them off since I have the new rims and tires siting in the garage. Any advice on getting them off since I used the Loctite. I have never used that stuff before. Will it just bust loose?
