Hi - It appears you are applying grease to the wheel studs, that's a no go and a major safety concern. The torque specifications are for dry threads only, and any lubricant will considerably reduce the fastening strength. I would strongly recommend cleaning these lugs and nuts before driving.

@MogsAndDogs 2 месяца назад

I understand the concern but the owners manual specifically states “lubricate wheel studs slightly with graphite grease to prevent wheel nuts being pressed light”. The same manual gives the 400Nm torque spec.

@@MogsAndDogs - Ok, graphite or copper grease is acceptable, sorry I couldn't discern from the footage.

@@OverlandVagabondWell, I didn't actually use graphite grease... Lucas Red and Tacky.

@@MogsAndDogs - In that case, I suggest you proceed as per above.

I am in Australia and got a Unimog specific jack from Europe for a reasonable price.

A tip - a shovel works well as a leverage point for the wheel install

@MogsAndDogs 2 месяца назад

Great tip, thanks!

Great job guys, looking good. I personally love doing these little jobs (relatively speaking). I’ll be interested to see how many miles you get from the MPT 81’s. I found them to wear pretty quickly, but I think that’s because we spent a lot of time on big mountain twisty roads. 🙏 P&I 😊🍷

@MogsAndDogs 2 месяца назад

It is really nice to complete the smaller projects, isn’t it? Feels like a win.

@andrefischer5025 2 месяца назад

Whenever you change rims to need to make sure the lug nuts match the rim! (It can be real scary if the worst happens, don’t ask how I know)

@MogsAndDogs 2 месяца назад

The worst seems like it could be a nightmare
