Can not find somthing conclusive and i am going to use an electric impact so i must choose rotation direction wisely

It’s the usual lefty loosey. Mine took a 450nm electric impact gun and still didn’t budge for a while

Thanks, nut came off easily but the Sprocket was already changed last year by the dealer so he probably got it lose for me.

Any idea what is the best way to torque the nut,

100nm is the manual’s recommendation. I didn’t have an extension for my torque wrench so couldn’t get in there. Ended up gunning it back on

I also want to just use my impact "gun" but it is 450nm, i am affraid to rip off the thread.

The intresting thing is that i bought it in a auto shop and it is intended for car wheel use.

Hi all!

'Elvis'
You don't have to tighten the nut to 100 Nm. I always use the socket and the wrench and tighten it 'enough'. Then the locking washer secure the nut from loosing up. Works perfectly.
