I went for 65-70 ft-lbs and with the bend-up tabs I doubt the bolts will ever come loose.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Grant -- Just for a similar reference, the TR WSM 330/84 shows the torque for "screw securing flange to wheel" as 7.5 daN-m (or ~55 ft-lb) and the thread size as M12 x 1.25P. If you don't get a specific BB512 response, you'll just have to wing it by thread size -- e.g., if M12, something like 55~60 ft-lbs, or, if M14, something more like 80~85 ft-lbs as Philip recommended. Are the bolts anything oddball-ish? Size? Cone-seat or flat-seat on the heads? |

Grant, not sure I fully understand but hopefully this helps. Wheel bolts on my 308 torqued to 85 ft lbs
Front wheel hub torqued to 11 ft lbs via center nut
Rear wheel hubs torqued to about 150 ft lbs via center nut
Torque specs usually in WSM

Just got my 512BB wheel back from the paint shop and they gave me back the splined hub assembly in a box. Any ideas on what the torque value should be for the five bolts holding the hub on the wheel?
Thanks in advance for the help.
