wheel torgue HELP!!

[D and J]

OK guys, I know I had a sheet of paper that showed the tightening sequence, and torque pounds of the wheels on my trailer. (8 bolt, Dexter never lube, aluminum wheels)

I know I have used this sheet, when tighening (checking) wheels after trips.

Of course, after being stationary for 4 months, I now can't find the sheet!! I had to take off a wheel this morning, and I need to know if I must progessivly thight the wheel back on?? or just go to ???pounds (I think it is 125, but I'm not sure)

I need your help!!

Thanks!

or maybe a link so I can download a new sheet!

Doug,
I remember info from my Excel manual that says 90 ft. lbs. I think that's a bit light as most similiar wheels use 120 lbs. When we were at Mor/Ryde to have disk brakes installed, the tech there, who does about 6 of the brake swaps a week, said he wouldn't torque them less than 120 lbs. I've been using that number ever since. FYI

Thanks Chris,

I forgot about the Keystone one. Our last 5th was made by Keystone, and they also sent us a nice DVD about the tightening. Pretty intersting video, when they showed how your trailer tires and rims react to tight turns, and backing into an RV lot.

Tom, Seems the "sale" is still going on, that 290 price was for "out the door" (mounting, balancing, disposal)the tires are still 249
