Default Twin Spoke Repair

Anyone able to tell me how much to re torque the bolts of the twin spokes. My 17's were suffering badly from corrosion after many years winter use so decided to split them and respray. I have the blue loctite ready just need the correct torque value. Tks in advance

20 Lb/Ft should be fine. You may have to rebalance them.

Default Before you put the bolts back in, you night want to clean out the threads....

I ran a tap in all the threads to clean out all the old Loctite to make sure i could get a good accurate torque. Like you, I resprayed, but the faces, not the rims. The outers had curb rash and I wanted to clean them up. Now they just collect dust.
