Hi again. Im gonna pick up some cav slabs this weekend as although i know it is not ideal am gonna fit them myself with the spare wheel jack and spanner thing 2 save some money. Anyway i was wondering how tight to tighten the bolts? Is there a particular torque setting needed or is it just a case of tighten till they won't tighten any more? Im using the standard bolts btw if that matters.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thnx

112nm on a torque wrench is what they should be :D

Most accurate way is tighten as much by hand then boot it. :lol:

Lol haha kwl. So basically lots and lots of ignorant brute force will do. Thanks for the actual tightness tho m8. I dont have a torque wrench but if they go on fine anyway then its all gd
