Wheel Nut Re-Torque Check Record
A free printable wheel nut re-torque record: each refitted wheel, the torque it went on at, the re-check after settling, any loose nut and who signed it off.

What this sheet is for
Prove every refitted wheel was checked again once it had settled, and say who checked it. The wrench, its calibration and your own torque figures sit at the top, so every check is made against the right numbers.
Who it is for
Fleet engineers, workshop staff and transport managers looking after lorries, buses, coaches or vans whose wheels come off for tyres, brakes or hub work.
How to use it
- Write the torque setting and the re-check point from the maker and your own procedure into the boxes at the top, once.
- Fill the left half of a line when the wheel goes back on: vehicle, position, reason, torque and who fitted it.
- Fill the right half when the re-check is done, with the odometer and whether any nut had moved.
- Report any loose nut as a defect and write the report number at the foot of the sheet.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Every wheel taken off and refitted, the torque it went back on at, and the re-check after the settling run your own procedure sets, with who did each one and whether any nut had moved.
Your figures, written in once. The torque setting and the point at which the re-check falls due come from the vehicle or wheel maker and your own maintenance procedure: write them in below once, rather than working from memory. A nut found loose at the re-check is a defect, so record it here and report it the way your defect system says.

Questions
Why is there no torque figure or re-check distance on the sheet?
Because both depend on the vehicle, the wheel and the fixings, and come from the maker and your own maintenance procedure. A printed figure would be right for some fleets and wrong for others, so the sheet leaves a blank at the top for yours.
Why record the wrench and its calibration date?
A re-check is only as good as the wrench used for it. Writing the wrench and its calibration on the same sheet lets anyone reading the record later see that the torque was applied with a tool that was in date.
