Since the workshop manual does not specify a torque for the wire wheel rear

I just replaced the studs in the left rear wheel of my BJ8. I have torqued
mine to 70 lb-ft.
Hi Steve,
As you noted the Workshop Manual doesn't give a torque figure for the rear
wire wheel splined hub adapter nuts. When I replaced mine some time ago, I
sought the counsel of the good people at Hendrix Wire Wheel, and they
recommended 60 ~ 70 lb-ft, so you are right on the money. Incidentally they
have not
become loose after 3000 or so miles.
