Torque for wheels

[Richy]

Just got a set of lovely csl reps, does anyone know what I need to torque the wheels to for a 3.0 si coupe?

I set my torque wrench at 88ft lbs.

Handy Hint: Reset the torque wrench back to "0" after using it.

I set mine at 80 foot pounds but it is a 2004 2.5i. I think that is what it says in the manual.

Thanks.

Looked in the manual and couldn't find any reference to it.

What about before use?

I know for our torque wrenches at work we have to set to max setting and cycle 3 or so times. I can't remember why, if it's for a more accurate torque, or just lubing the internals.

If you have your torque wrench calibrated once a year, you'll be in good shape.
