Wheel Center Bolts

Hello,
I was working on the wheels today (we have Weld wheels).
And i decided to check the bolts of the wheel center.
I put the wrench @ 25 ft/p but it was still turning a bit.
Do you guys know which torque it should be?
Or should it be a bit loose to give it a little space for tireshake and stuff like that?
Thanks

are you talking about all the bolts around a beadlock? or are you talking about the (4) 100 degree taper bolts that hold the cover plate and o-ring for the axles on a mark williams etc rear end?

P.S. If you are talking about the actual beadlock torque...i believe it is 22 ft/lbs for a weld rim. We just tighten the 100 degree tapers, they basically set themselves with the 100 degree taper so just snug em up tight. If you have an inner set of bolts inside the rim....well then I don't know the answer to that!

there is a picture of a beadlock wheel.
if you look inside you see the center it tightend with bolts.
Those are the bolts i mean.

Thanks for your help!

 

If I remember correctly, they are 1/4" fine thread bolts, and 25'lbs will be too high. I do know the captivated nuts are self-locking so that will affect the torque, but I don't know how much it is. I'll check it out at work tomorrow and get back to you if someone else doesn't first.
