Torque for wheels?

Asian Hamster · 04-27-2007, 03:56 PM

What is the torque necessary for the wheels? We're taking one off to change the tranny fluid and I need to know the specs for it. Also, is it right or left wheel for changing tranny fluid? Thanks.

Drivers side. Remember, you need to have the car dead level when you fill. If you're not level....and you're 100% postive that you got all the old MTF out.....make sure you get just under 2 quarts of MTF in.

Alright thanks, I'll do that. And just one more really quick question. Do the filler and drain plugs have a torque rating or do I just tighten them until they won't turn anymore?

Service Manual information for Si model...

Transmission drain plug, 29.0, 14mm

I didn't take off my wheel for the tranny fluid change. Just jacked it up and it went fine. But it's the drivers side if you want to remove the wheel and the wheelwell covers.

Similarly to what Tom mentioned, I didn't think it was necessary to remove the wheel or wheel well. It may make the job easier though. Sliding underneath the car constantly to refill the pump is really tiring! I think if you remove the wheel and wheel well, you can sit up right and do the job.

83.200546 lb/ft anything more or less than that and you will lose hp.
