- My manual says to tighten the lug nuts to 120 lb/ft on my 3455SA

Just re-torqued ours the other day to 120 ft/lbs.
The coach has those darned stainless clad 3\4 nuts.
I goofed up and tried to use a deep 12 point socket and bunged up the nut cap.
Have to remember from now on to only tighten with a six point thick wall socket.
I almost never use a 12 pint socket for any amount of force, either going in or coming off, always a 6 point! Saves both on rounded nuts and bolts, and scrapped knuckles!!brentbullets wrote:

The reference below contains the most current Keystone generic owner’s manual (4-25-2013). Wheel nut torque values and SOP starts on page 23.

Wheel Nut Torque
The information contained in these printed instructions outlines the most recently recommended processes involving Lug Nut Torque and takes precedent over any information regarding Lug Nut Torque shown in your ippert, Dexter or AL-KO Owners’ Manuals.
Pre-Trip Maintenance
Always remember
* Check lug nut torque before every trip. Keystone RV recommends this maintenance procedure to ensure proper torque has been applied to lug nuts before heading out on the road.
* Lug nuts should be torqued to 110-120 ft/lbs on all units except for the Cambridge, which requires 140-150 ft/lbs. This is due to the use of a 9/16” stud versus a 1/2” inch stud used on other units.
* Always follow the appropriate star pattern as indicated in these instructions or in your axle Manufacturer’s owner’s manual to assure proper torque. - Depends in stud size. So you first need that.
