More on audi wheel bolts/studs/torque

[EricNMN at aol.com]

Thanks to email technology,
what I wrote as:
T=KFd

was posted as
T=3DKFd

T=KFd is correct.

T - Torque   (applied at the wheel nut/lug)
K - "Torque Factor" which is dependent upon the bolt condition
F - Preload Force
d - diameter of bolt

The only "equals sign" in my posting is in the equation.

Thanks,
Eric Schumacher
