    Random Simmons Wheel Question

    Afternoon PFers

    I have a set of paininthefuckingarse simmons F90s, I think. Does anyone know the torque settings for the nuts that are at the back of the rim. I thought the leak was just coming from a value, turns out its around the inside of the rim.

    Pm or reply would be good.

    thanks,
    I was once a rotary enthusiast like you, until I took a modified apex seal to the knee.

    The Simmons bolts are M8 and probably a Grade 10.9 high tensile. Their torque figure is around 19 lb/ ft.

    If the bolts are the stronger Grade 12.9 cap screws then the dry torque figure would be about 21 lb/ft.

    From experience I suggest that the leak will not be fixed by tightening or over tightening and the tyre will have to come off and the wheel re siliconed.

    This is quite true, I want to throw them at a wall, or alternatively sell them.
