XC60 wheel nut torque and swapping wheels

HDAV · Nov 22nd, 2018, 18:05

As its gotten colder i am going to fit my winter wheels this weekend i think, now i will be attempting this myself at home and wont be maxing out a windy gun to torque them i do have a medium spec torque wrench so whats the specified wheel torque? Is it in the manual?

In the past have used local garage to swap them over but cant see it taking more than an hour or so on the drive have a tidy 2.5t trolley jack and axle stands. and doing it twice a year is a reasonable saving (£30 a time to have the 4 swapped)

just need to check i have a 19mm socket thats deep enough and thin enough for the torque wrench.

Did my xc70 ones yesterday. Torque value is the same as for xc60 according to previous threads - 140Nm

I will think about what to spend the £8 I save on while freezing and swearing tomorrow swapping the wheels over

I normally change my own but I had to have a slow puncture repaired so I thought I would get them swapped at the same time and was charged £5 a corner.

Swapped them over but the front jacking points seemed odd? Checked the manual twice but it didn’t look right....there is a semi circle recess in the plastic sill cover is that really the jacking point?

The front is easy as it is the semi-circle cut out, the rears are the one to watch as there are semi-circles and it is the rear on that you need to use.

Its worth doing yourself, you can then check the condition of brakes and suspension while you do it....
