Any of you with the Helm's manual - can you provide me with the torque spec for the alloy wheels on an EX and the steel wheels on the LX.

Thanks in Advance

I'm pretty sure it's 80 ft/lbs.

Ya beat me to it.

Yes, I found 80 ft/lbs for all years, all wheels. If anyone found something different, let us know.

Thanks guys - I appreciate it.

Next time I'll remember to say it's a Y2K EX.

Just got my wheel lock today. What's the tolernace for 80 ft-lb +/- ??. Since I don't have torque wrench. have to figure out how to torque it myself? Does anyone know where I can get a cheap torque wrench for wheel?
Thanks!

I bought a cheap one ($20) from the local auto accessory store just to do my wheels.

Assuming a cheap wrench is accurate to within 5% or so, it's probably good enough.

I run snows in the winter on our EX and have rented a torque wrench from the local rental center. It cost six bucks for 1/2 day. Good ones cost well over $100 and since I can't convince my DW that it's a good tool to have around, the rental charge is well spent.

I've had a hard time finding one lcoally at a reasonable price. I found that e-bay has quite a few with prices rangeing from $10 and up http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=G etResult&ht=1&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&query=torque+wrench

and the tire rack has one as well

I might spend the $30 for the tire rack one. I've had good luck with them on 2 purchases.
