F10 strut nut socket recommendations
I'm going to attempt ACS springs install this weekend. Any recommendations on a strut nut socket or a technique?
Is it a 18mm? What is the torque spec for the strut nut? The previous torque stated are incorrect. Here are the torque specs based on https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...truts/1LHsblhj Wheel bolts - 140Nm (103 ft-lb) Front springs: Tie rod bolt at strut - 45 Nm (33 ft-lb) Upper control arm to swivel bearing - 56 Nm (41 ft-lb) Bottom strut (1 bolt) - 90 Nm (66 ft-lb) Top strut (3 bolts) - 28 Nm (21 ft-lb) Spring strut to support bearing - 34 Nm (25 ft-lb) Rear springs: Top strut (3 bolts) - 28 Nm (21 ft-lb) Bottom strut (1 bolt) - 250 Nm (184 ft-lb) Spring strut to support bearing - 27 Nm (20 ft-lb) Last edited by louieeg; 02-08-2018 at 12:57 PM.. |

https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...truts/1LHsblhj I think it is an 18mm, I used a swivel impact socket to take it off once it the spring was secured on the spring compressor. And used a "stuby" impact wrench.

on the front I found it easier just to remove the bolt in the pic using an inverted
torx socket. FORGOT!! be careful of the brake lines and sensors when you remove this..use a bungee cord to keep it suspended. I was able to remove one strut in lees than 15 minutes taking my time. credit for image :http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=628336 if you have any other questions let me know

you also need a star key for the rears. i forgot what the size was but it's when you need to get access through the rear shelf to get to the rear shock nuts if i recall
