Wheel nut torque?

[QuasarZ]

I have a Branson 2400h and the manual does not list the torque setting for the wheels (or I just can't find it). Any suggestions?
Thanks

What size is the threads?

I can look up a "universal torque" spec If I know the thread size.

My F-350 dually has 9/16" thread (about 14mm-ish) and the lugs are torqued to 165 ft lbs.
I suspect your rear lugs will be close to that...... and probably 120 or so on the fronts.

Thanks for the reply. Not sure the size. I did get an answer from the dealer though. They actually had to call Branson because they couldn't find it in any books either. Fronts are 90 and rear is 120.

My service manual shows two different numbers
75 - 87 ft-lbs for the front and 192 - 224 ft-lbs for the rear.

front 57 - 67 ft rear 80 - 92 ft-lbs

Not sure what to believe.

For the rears, the bigger number is for where the wheel rim bolts to the "dish". The smaller number is where the "dish" bolts to the axle hub.

On (any) wheel hardware I run my 100# impact wrench on it and watch the socket. When it stops turning I give it 3 or 4 more whacks and stop.

LOL, if you can't remove with a cross bar then tight enough.

If that's for me, I use a ½ drive, not a ¾ at 175 psig like the tire dealers use. With them I tell them to put them on with a cross bar so that if needed I can get them off with same. I keep one in the truck, not the angled worthless hootus that comes as standard equipment. Besides when the bolt/nut stops turning it's not that hard to get off.
