Porsche Motorsport also recommends
replacing the wheel nuts during a long
distance race (approx. 6 hours run time).
The replacement is required for checking
and regenerating the used wheel nut.
Regenerating includes cleaning of the
threads, visual inspection for damage.
To ensure the correct wheel nut tightening torque and corresponding clamping load is
achieved the wheel nut or wheel cone MUST be lubricated with Optimol TA grease
EVERY time the wheels are changed.
Instruction for check tightening of wheel nut
Check the tightening of the wheel nut only when the
car is on the ground to prevent the suspension from
damage.
A second mechanic is need to push the
brake during the procedure
Also, if wheel guns are used, the manometer on the compressed air bottles should be
calibrated to ensure that the tightening torque of
500-520 Nm
(368.8 – 383.5 lb-ft)
is correct.
Proceed as follows to prevent the wheel nuts from settling: Tighten the new part 3 to
4 times using an impact wrench (
500 – 520 Nm
(368.8 – 383.5 lb-ft)), then untighten
and regrease.
