Wheel Spacers
« on: February 03, 2008, 14:51:15 »
Just about to fit some 30mm wheel spcers to my D1 from Rakeway enginering;

is it best to just torque them up to 130 thingies or to do the same with some lock'n'seal as well???

Any thoughts greatfully apreciated.

cover the backs in copper grease, otherwise they are a nightmare to get off again after a while, locktite on the nuts and torque em up,

as lee said but only put the Copper Grease on the hub flange as the grease moves around causing the Wheel / Spacer to come loose even with "loc-tite" on the studs :shock:

When i brought my 40mm spacers from rakeway he said just clean the hub slighty grease and don't lock tight them. Just torque them up :afro:
