OK everyone, My '80-'83 Haynes manual says 125 ft-lbs. for the lug nuts. I don't have my Bentley handy to check what they say, but there may be a different spec for Syncros -- I don't know. I set mine to 125 ft-lbs, and have no trouble getting them off. Hell, I don't even have to stand on the wrench like I did before I started torquing the lug nuts with a torque wrench. -- Sean Bartnik Fredericksburg, Virginia 1981 Volkswagen Vanagon L Westfalia 1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia convertible http://www.type2.com/bartnik/myvan.htm |
