Drilled Drums

[rzeller]

Jim, Thanks for the info on the drums. I'd like to see some picts of your wheels (side view and straight on). Can you post them or tell me where you might have them? As for the tool, I've see it listed and understand how to use it, but how do you insure the proper torque on the nut? Also, don't the studs get in the way of being able to pound on the tool? Thanks, Bud

I just bought the tool and when I got it home I noticed that it won't work on my Sol Cal Import drilled chevy drums. Oh well. The instructions on the side of the tool say you need to torque to 25 lbs in order to get the nut to about 240 lbs. Here's a pic of my chevy drilled rotors and drums with the wheels on.

The torque tool is set up for VW bolt patterns only, using wheel bolts and have to be drilled out for studs. The ratio is about 9:1 for torque values. 30# on the tool = 270# on the nut. :2cents: Jimbo
