| Re: Care & Feeding of Knock-Off / On wheels
Big Foot,
You asked a very good question when you posted this thread.
It can't be personal preference as to the tightening/loosening direction.
It is what it is, depending on how the direction the spindle mfg. cut the hub/spinner threads.
All I'm saying is, to follow your wheel mfg.'s recommended installation tech.
For you, I assume that is Vintage Wheels, so you can follow what is published on their website, and/or the info RCR provided you with.
As far as torque per degree of rotation, (AN fitting example) this is a function of thread pitch.
You are also correct, as I assume you have Aviation exp., that damage will occur due to deviation from published installation techniques.
You are not beating a dead horse.
Cheers,
