    Hello,
    Changing tires for the first time on a single lug '88 TR wheel.

    Question, what torque setting do I use to tigten the single lug?

    I can't seem to find it in the manual.

    Thanks

    This is what I do every time.....

    Clean the bevel on the wheel nut itself
    Clean the bevel on the axle shaft
    Clean the bevel on the wheel.
    Apply a LITTLE copper slip grease to all bevels
    Fit the wheel and tighten with the large spanner (use a thin cloth to protect the chrome) giving the spanner one good knock with the lead hammer.
    Drop the car and torque the bolt to 320ft/lb.

    In my opinion, cleanliness of the bevels and correct torque setting are the most important.
    The lead hammer and spanner is a good "get you home" when you have had trouble out on a ride...
