That will be 5 ugga duggas.
Using the sloppy conversion scale that would be 7 3/4 braps.
The wheel nuts on semis are 450-500 ft lbs. 450 meaning minimum and 500 meaning maximum.
On a 2016 Fusion, at least, the brake caliper bracket bolts are single-use only per Ford service data. Since Ford doesn't supply a "torque plus degrees" spec, I'm presuming they're not torque-to-yield, but the replacement bolts do come prepared with threadlocker.They are that tight for a good reason. I had a caliper bracket loosen up on my F150 at 6000 miles. I also had one loosen up on my Fusion. I clean them up really well, clean the bolts, tighten to spec, and use blue loctite on them. I have also talked to a couple of my pro mechanic friends who have had the same problem. I don’t really know why this happens, but it is fairly common.
