Technically, these figure are not wrong, they were banded about in M/benz literature. The new, more correct figures are, Steel = 180Nm and Alloys = 130Nm.

Hi

Do you mind me asking how you got the studs off - struggling with one of my wheels at the moment and it seems the studs are not going to move for me.
