Wheel torque settings Clipper

Does anyone know the values of the wheel bolts torque settings for a '93 Clipper? I did a search but did not find it there …

i always do them up as tight as i can with the included wheel brace. way i see it, you need to be able to undo them at the side of the road in the dark, so dont go round doin em up with a breaker bar!

Put them at 120 Nm now using my torque wrench.

Don't over tighten them as you might well pull the thread from hub or drum, see this on someone elses car, the did not tell me they knackered the thread which the remains of it from the drum was stuck to the bolt, just said the nut aint tightening, new drum after

I appreciate that, so are you saying 120 Nm is too much?
