I'm going to be taking off my sport classic II wheels this weekend and want to be sure on how to torque them back. I understand torque settings are 96lbs but I don't understand how or the direction you tighten the bolts. I know star pattern is used but exactly how is this done???

 

you tighten the opposing nutz around, hence the star pattern

 

ok like 12 oclock first then 6 oclock and 9 oclock 3 oclock etc....?????

 

sure, you can start wherever you want the idea is to distribute the torque evenly and make sure both surfaces are flat and equally loaded.

 

Great that's what I needed to know thanks for your help!

Basically you skip every other bolt as you go around. Two full circles and you get all the bolts. Clockwise or counter clockwise direction is fine, so long as you maintain the direction you started with. For laughs and giggles I'll remove the wheel by going counter clockwise along the bolts, and replace the wheel going clockwise , skipping along every other bolt until I get them all. Such fun.
