• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I thought I read the the torque is 77 lbs but watching a how 2 video the person said either 84 or 86 lbs so what is the correct one? 2015 F3s. It was a how 2 replace brake pads and really great info! youtube.
 
The 2019 RT Owners Manual, page 158 === FRONT = 77 ft.lbs to 83 ft.lbs REAR = 155 ft.lbs to 177 ft.lbs.
The 2019 F3 Owners Manual, page 180. Same torque values as RT

Most alloy wheels, car, SUV or motorcycle, that I have seen have a torque value of 80 ft.lbs. For the average torque wrench, the accuracy is plus or minus 4%. So, a torque value of 80 ft.lbs would have a range of 77 ft.lbs to 83 ft.lbs, and still be within spec.
