Looking for some help from those who run chromo's. Just got my G2 rear shafts today which came dual drilled for screw-in wheel studs. Problem is, there is no info on torque specs to be found. Anyone have some insight into what I should torque 'em down to?


And don't worry, I plan to use some good 'ole red loctite during assembly.

This isn't fact, but I would guess it is the same as installing a high steer arm. Hand tight or 5 ft lbs.

they are a hex bolt that thread from the rear. I figured they'd back out first time I went to tighten a lug unless i had them set anywhere over the factory 95 lb's. Kinda stumped on this one

I did a search for screw-in studs and found 90 - 95 ft/lbs with red locktite to be common.
I'm surprised the shafts didn't come with instructions addressing this important point.
I would call the manufacturer and see what they say.

Thanks guys. I shot them an email so I'm waiting to hear back from them.

Oh, I was thinking an actual stud. Yeah, torque spec is usually based on bolt size, grade, and pitch. 90/95 should be about right.

Yea that's what all my research is telling me. I run spacers so I really only need to get everything torqued down properly once, then its just maintenance.

I really wouldn't think much about it. Even if a wheel falls off, you still have three good ones left. Just be sure to turn into the direction of the side the wheel fell off

Bailing wire and duct tape should be enough to reattach a lost wheel, right?
