Torque spec for wheel adaptors?

Yes. I always add a dot of blue Loctite also. Don’t use red, you’ll never get them off. And go back and check them in a few hundred miles.

Blue loctite, torque to 100lbft. If the studs protrude too far check that the rims have a pocket for them to fit into, if not cut the studs shorter.

That may end up breaking the loctite and provide an incorrect torque reading.

"The cured loctite will produce some value of break-away torque required to shear the bond. This will be true even if there is zero preload in the joint.

So any audit torque that is less than the break-away torque can at best test the strength of the loctite. "

I've had mine blue locktite on quite awhile now and never had one lug loosen...

Well there ya have it, don’t re-torque them then haha

You guys using Loctite on the lug nut threads need to remember to reduce the ft-lbs. specified in the FSM by 20%. The FSM ft-lbs are for dry unlubricated hardware and Loctite/antiseize acts as a lubricant. Not taking the Locktite into account can result in excessive clamping force and potentially stretched bolts.
