Various Torque Settings for Ollies

[dewdev]

I have seen on this forum discussions for torque setting for the Wheel Nuts (90-100 ft-lbs) and the Leveling Jack flange bolt nuts (43 ft-lbs).

Are there other fasterners on the Ollie's that we should be checking torque and what setting should they be?

We use these values (screenshot from our maintenance and trip log):

Thanks MAX Burner.

What are you referring to when you say "Shackle Nuts"?

I will chime in. I believe @MAX Burner is referring to the torque value of the nut that tightens the wet bolt. Comonly referred to as wet bolts due to having a grease zerk on the end.

@Patriot - exactly correct...  Thanks for clarifying.

However we think our Olivers are special, a bolt is a bolt and torque is based on bolt grade and diameter. I never look at manufacturer's specs, too much time and trouble. Torque-Tension Reference Guide.pdf (fastenal.com)

I believe it is 43 pound/feet.

Some may ponder too long on this one.  Suggest add an "en" on Tight and a value.
