    Elaborating, What I meant was that I would use the figure of 148Nm unlubed &
    then ask you guys what nut friction co-efficient I should downgrade from 0.7 to
    lubed.:cool:

    I have no idea, but cranking them up to 148 lubed doesn't seem right to me.
    I will be monitoring them closely to see if what I use is adequate.
