In order to apply the right press force, it is better to apply a dedicated rotation angle from the contact than a torque. The major part of the applied torque is absorbed by the friction (Kellerman & Klein formula) which depends on surface roughness and lubrification.
The angle method avoids to take into account the friction. This method is generaly used for example to tighten the cylinder head.
At the moment the garage is very cold and I don't have the exact measures of thread pitch,screw diameter,length and I/O diameters of the hub, but a rough estimate of the tightening angle could be around 30° to 40°.
Next time I will fit a Wheel, I have to note the screwing angle.
Have you some datas? If somebody uses the oldtimertools with a torque wrench, it could be useful to know the torque and the related angle.
Bloody Nora! Just whack the thing with a big copper or lead mallet a couple of times.
Job done.
