        Torque:
        Specified tightening torque
        53 N*m  { 540 kgf*cm, 39 ft.*lbf }

        Note

        Perform this procedure with all 4 wheels on the ground.

        Tech Tips


        • Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench Click here.

        • When using SST (fulcrum length of 30 mm (1.181 in.)) + SST (fulcrum length of 200 mm (7.874 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 380 mm (14.961 in.)): 33 N*m (337 kgf*cm, 24 ft.*lbf)
