Dear Lord please do not put 300Nm on your wheel nuts. They're supposed to tentioned correctly with a torque wrench, usually between about 110 and 120Nm. Edit

- namibj 5y agoI think parent was referring to taking wheels off, not torquing the nuts. And for that purpose, it does seem appropriate.
- TheSpiceIsLife 5y agoOn second reading I see you may be right. However my point still stands, somewhat: if 300Nm is insufficient to undo your wheelnuts, they're way too tight.

- barrkel 5y agoYou should be introduced to Italian single-sided-swingarm nuts. For example, my MV Agusta Brutale required 220 to 240Nm tightening. It would come loose with my battery-powered 300NM rattle gun, but only after a while. (Fantastic bike but I no longer own it. I'd rent another though.) Ducati single-sided swingarm nuts can be similar, but I have not yet owned a Ducati.
- barrkel 5y agoTo be absolutely clear I'm talking about disassembly. I'd never use a rattle gun to tighten anything.
