Just checked... its a 12mm torq socket
45Nm then 65deg

As above, I brought one for my flywheel bolts few weeks ago

Yes but fairly tight Might be a bit loose ,or do you mean §§§§ing tight till the breaker bar breaks.

.....remind me not to let you loose near my wheel bolts !

popped into Halfords to pick-up a torq bit, & found they do a "spline" kit that had the perfect bit in it

No need to worry about wheel bolts,I would worry about the calipers bolts .:hbomb:

To be honest the settings were ripped from Haynes... In reality I use FT rule of thumb too.... (Apart from Head bolts)

What are you worried about ?

I haven`t had a wheel come loose in years :)

But why tighten bolts to a degree setting not the good old way of lbs/ft

[Harvey]

A lot of these newer bolts are one use only,and do stretch. Could be the way the factory tools work when they build these things up.
Do the still say threads dry or oiled up.
That's my guess ?.

There is probably plenty of info on the web for the reasons. My guess is to ensure that bolts stretch to a preset length within the elastic limit of the bolt.. but really I don't know... where's engineer when you need him..
