Lug Nut Torque

stevedMember

Another post from the new guy. Looking for suggestions for Lug Nut torque. I have 17 inch welded 2 piece late style Campagnolo type 10 spokes with stock calipers. Also, have the smooth center hub caps that cover up the lugs like those used on the Hall ultra wheels. Dumb question but how do I get to the lug nuts? Does the little cap in the center pry off or is there a special secret?

Hi Steve
The nut is behind the smooth cap, the cap is held in place by a spring steel circlip, you may need to use circlip pliers to remove this. Once the circlip is removed the cap can or should just pull out by hand. Good luck

Hello Richard, here is a pic of the cap. I could not find a circlip.

Those look like the caps I had to keep buying for a 1990 Bonneville. I had a plastic wrench with a 6" handle and the black "Nut" would unscrew and then the disk behind it come off to expose the lugs.

Steve, I used to have those same lug covers. They were made by Hall, and they don't pry off, they unscrew.- Jim

Also, there is no circlip involved whatsoever.

Thanks Jim and Chris. Maybe I can use a strap type wrench to grab the nut? And then I can check my lug nut torque!

the "nuts" on the Bonniville were 3" across the flats, so if yours are the same, maybe you could get plastic wrench from GM
Also found BBS Wheels and BMW uses similair and have the plastic wrench for about $15

The "nut" simply holds the spun cone on and centered. It should be hand tight. Underneath you will find a threaded carrier that is bolted to the wheel by the lug nuts. I would carefully try to loosen the big nut. Call Hall Pantera and ask Bev what Gary sold to loosen his Ultra Wheels - that is what they are. Also, He may have had the left and right side threads reversed.
