Torque Settings


Please note, this section is simply for my reference as a record of the torque settings I have used based on the information I have gleaned from manuals/web/GBS etc. It is not in any way definitive and is used solely at your risk. I suggest you do your own research rather than using these settings. After all it will be you sitting in your car not me !!!

    Cool - you came up with the same answer as me for the callipers & suspension tightening esp. the tighten, loosen then +90 degrees process as per Sierra manual.

    Its good to get confirmation - adds to my confidence I am doing the right thing.

    Thank you for sharing!
