    Lazy q - wheel nut socket size?

    1995 Defender 130 Tdi running after-market steel wheels (but same wheel nuts as standard I am pretty sure)

    What size socket do I need (so I can use torque wrench rather than just 'that feels right' method)

    Ta.
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    If it's the same as the TD5 boost alloys, 27mm. Is it though? Well, that is the question!

    My nuts are 27mm. They are tight... 130nm for the alloys, 100nm for the steelies. Don't do the nuts up too tight, you might bust one.

    Yes, 120-130lb/ft for the HD rims. (tension wrench is in lb/ft )

    Not sure why, but I've always used an 1,1/16" imperial socket for the wheel nuts, which works out near as dammit to 27mm.
