e30 m3 front hub torque

[nickso]

anyone know the torque setting for a front hub nut on an e30 m3?

the torque settings sticky above isn't working and an internet search reveals 3 choices of 210,240 and 250ft/lb

[nickso]

no one?

I'm going to guess at 240ft/lb then.

For a standard E30,Bentley suggest 214ftlb...+/- 10%.

aye malc but as the m3 hub nut is a different size i reckoned it was going to be different. one thread on s14 and one on another site said 240.

Either way,it's going to be bloody tight!

Sorry,I've no specific M3 info.

check the setting for a 528 e28 should be the same as the M3 one

i can't find anything on the net and searching on here for anything with m3 is pointless. 240 it is.
