Hi All

Just a quick question about installing the detachable tow bar to a MY12. The installation instructions state to torque the nut on the bolt which attaches the bar into the armature at 300nm. My torque wrench only goes up to 135nm. I've got a 2 foot long breaker bar which I'm sure will get me to the 300nm range, but it wouldn't be a scientific process.

Could anyone advise. Should I just fit using the breaker bar, tightening to the point at which, essentially, I can't tighten anymore?

Thanks for any advice.

i think the 300nm might be wrong..thats more than twice the torque for wheel nuts.. ... - .- -.

I've got this value from page 3 of the accessory fitting guidance on topix

I may well have not understood something though.

Thanks



300Nm on the actual towbar receiver is probably right although 300Nm is a LOT!

Thanks Weejock

I must be reading something wrong. If you check the link in my above post, the 2nd illustration box on Page 3 has an arrow pointing to the nut with "300nm" in the corner of that box.

Grateful for the help.

this is from the workshop manual and it does say 300nm,

Thanks guys. So basically give it a lot of force on my breaker bar should be about right!

If you have a 2 ft breaker bar, its pretty much the same as a 60kg on the end of it......ish.

I thinks

300lb @ 1ft
150lb @ 2ft There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
