Hi all,

Am curious if anyone on here is in Coffs Harbour and has a torque wrench that will nip up the hub nuts to 260NM? Am intending to buy one next week but as there is a car show on Sunday (25th June) I was hoping to make, I thought that I would ask.

Nip them up snug and drive to your friendly tyre shop. They might have one.

Thanks for the reply.

Had thought about trying to get them tight (install split pins) then drive somewhere but wasn't sure it was all that safe. Also I am in the middle of a 100kph zone to make it just that extra bit hairy...

do them up really really f*cking tight using a pipe over the end of your breaker bar, then do them up a bit more until the split pin lines up
