Torque settings

Can someone explain the torque setting in the enclosed photo

 

[Misterg]

450 Nm ± 15 Nm (i.e. 435 Nm to 465 Nm)

Best have an extra shredded wheat for brekky.

 

[pappajohn]

daN.m (deca Newton meter) = 0.1Nm
dN.m (deci Newton meter = 10.0 Nm

450 Nm ± 15 Nm (i.e. 435 Nm to 465 Nm)

On a rear hub.

The fronts are just over half that.

 

[klaatu]

daN.m (deca Newton meter) = 0.1Nm
dN.m (deci Newton meter = 10.0 Nm

Other way round. Deca (da) = 10x, Deci (d) = 0.1x

daN.m (deca Newton meter) = 0.1Nm

Nope - 1daN = 10 N

I am 15 stone so if I put a 20 scaffold tube on the socket bar then jump up and down on the end of it that should do it

 

[charliesgrandad]

Is there going to be a consensus

Sorry, don't understand?

The rear hub nuts on my old VW camper were 250 ft lbs / 340NM - bent a 3/4" breaker bar on them (it was a cheap one). (Fronts were taper roller so adjusted on clearance, but don't see how that's relevant).

V dub = rear wheel drive
Ducato =front wheel drive
The requested torque is for rear hubs.
You don't want 450nm on a rear stub axle.

Dont tell me, I work in foot/lbs
Tell the website owners I lifted the info off.

In real numbers 330 ft-lb

A yard long lever and pull 100 lbs -- that's tight.

Ex mechanic in technical terms that’s FT

It appears the someone does!

 

[pappajohn]

It appears the someone does!

How can you possibly tighten a nut to 45nm plus/minus 450nm.

Its there in black and white....... Rear hub... Tighten to 45nm

daNm @ 0.1 would be around plus/minus 7nm or 38nm to 52nm
which makes perfect sense for a rear hub.

Funnily enough that was my first thought, from an ex mechanical engineering fitter
