Balancing Trailer Tires ?

Also curious on proper torque ft/lb for lug nuts ?

I agree - get them balanced. I was shocked to see how much it took to balance the 12" on my Tee Nee.

Pete do you know proper torque for lug nuts ?

Pete, is that less then 50 ft-lbs?? Seems awfully low??

If the wheels are steel I would imagine 80-100 ft-lb, Aluminum would be less.

Had a set of Ronal alloy wheels on a vehicle that were very specific, learned the hard way after a Good Year store installed them incorrectly and a few hundred miles later on the highway while towing my boat the truck was wobbling/wandering, pulled over to find studs missing and one wheel down to (2) lug nuts. Lucky for me they had "torqued to 120" right on the invoice, which was wrong, and they picked up the tab on tow bill and repairs including 4 new wheels.

torque them as hard as you can by hand...then when you get a flat you can get them off. I've never had a wheel fall off or lug nuts loosen up.

The PO had torqued mine up to an inch of thier life, combine this with dumping in and out of the water when I came to remove the wheels to rivet the fenders back on I broke 3 sockets and had to use a 6ft bar to get the buggers undone, If this had happened on the road it would have been a total nightmare. I greased up the nuts and went with 60 ft/lbs.
