Practice question

How much torque is required for a bud rim after tire/rim reinstallation?

  1. 350 to 400 foot lbs.
  2. 450 to 500 foot lbs.
  3. 550 to 600 foot lbs.
  4. 250 to 300 foot lbs.

Answer: B — 450 to 500 foot lbs.

Excessive torque can damage the hub and studs while insufficient torque can lead to loose and dangerous wheels. Option A and C have torque values that are too high and can cause damage. Option D has a torque value that is too low, leading to wheels becoming loose. Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it falls within the recommended torque range for tire/rim reinstallation.
