Hello Gents,

Does anyone know the wheel lug nut torque for a 46 1.5T front and rear? I've looked in the manuals and didn't find it.

Thanks

My 1957 shop manual calls for 250 - 275 ft. lbs. but that could be inaccurate due to the difference in wheel/lug type between 1946 and 1957. What diameter are the studs?

The fronts are 9/16-18 and uses flat nuts with a backing plate, rears are bigger

That probably a bit much for the fronts.
