Evening all,

 

My brother has offered me an aftermarket steering wheel and I was just looking at how to install it in my zed.

 

I’ve found some guides that breakdown the process of removing the existing wheel and installing a boss kit, however I was hoping someone could tell me how tight the 19mm nut needs to be. I’ve searched various sites and threads, but haven’t found the torque specs.

 

Any other advice or information on things to watch out for is always welcome.

 

Thanks

It doesn't need to be super duper tight, finger the nut on and then just nip - i can guarantee it wont fall off :yes:.

Thanks buddy, that’s what I fear – that it will fall off.

 

I spent my childhood stripping threads (yes, I was one of those kids that took everything apart:innocent:) and nowadays I like to know that things are tight, but not too tight… Especially on the important components like the steering wheel!

22-29ftlbs or 29-39nm.

When removing the old steering wheel leave the nut partially undone (held on by a few threads). That way if you

are sitting in front of the wheel and it "lets go" when you are pulling it off you won't get hit in the face by it.

Came across this bit of advice on a previous thread. :thumbup1:
