dunx675 2 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Hi everyone. Its chain and sprocket time for my 2014 NC (its DCT if that makes a difference). Please can someone tell me the correct torques for the front sprocket bolt, and the rear sprocket nuts. Thanks Dunx PS Does anyone do a manual for the NC? There's enough of them around, and seemed to be owned by the sort of people who do their own servicing. Link to post
djsb 492 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Front sprocket nut =54 N.m Driven sprocket nut = 108 N.m From page 3-22 (maintenance section) of service manual 2012-2014. Link to post

Thanks, but are those the right way round? The rear wheel sprocket carrier studs look too small to take 108Nm? Link to post
MPG100 399 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Various threads on here with folks (inc me) asking 'What is the torque for XYZ?'. Does anyone have a link to a list which errr lists the torque value for everything that needs torquing on nc models? A link / list just seems a much easier approach! Thks Link to post

djsb 492 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Ive checked the figures in 2 service manuals (a printed out version and an older 700x downloaded one) and at several places and they all say the same thing. I suspect that the figures in the manual are wrong. Can't remember what torque value I tightened mine to. I'd agree that 108N.m seems a bit excessive. In which case I would go by the feel and tighten as much as you can or choose 54N.m for both? Or listen to someone who does this day in and day out. Edited December 5, 2021 by djsb 1 Link to post
djsb 492 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Even the new workshop manual downloaded from this site quotes the same figure. I'm not sure if the cush drive has any influence on this. 1 Link to post
dunx675 2 Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 Thanks DJSB for the clarification and checking. It might be the nuts used on the sprocket carrier. They look like they are Stay Loks or similar. Link to post
MartynG 2 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 The figures are correct. 108nm for the rear and 54 for the front 1 Link to post
wjvh 999 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) I don’t go as far as 108nm. In fact I don’t even bother with a torque wrench on the wheels now. The front is pretty tight and the rear is really tight. Edited December 16, 2021 by wjvh 1 Link to post
Steve Case 955 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Front doesn't need to be as tight as it's splined, rear is only held on by the studs and nuts. 1 Link to post
