Hello, just about to buy a torque wrench to do my wheel nuts up properly so i don't get the surging motion under braking (5 bolt drums)

Can anyone tell me please what the correct tension should be though?

thanks 🙂

make sure you tighten every 2nd one

And keep going around until you've tightened ALL of them.😀

I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

If you tighten every 2nd one you will eventually tighten all of them
