Too frequent wheel bolt torqueing

[edhrx]

I retorque the wheel bolts on my Ducato based MOHO frequently.

Is it possible to stretch the bolts if done too many times ?

If you are applying the same torque they are not goining to move so how can it.

Why would you unless they come loose?

I don't touch mine from tyre change to tyre change!

If they don't stretch it's possible they might actually shear!

As said why would you, once you have Torque'd the studs to the correct setting that's job done.

What torque have you set to ?

Are you an Ex Tugger by any chance? We used to check the Caravans wheel bolts torque settings every time we set off from A-B, then B-A again. Real PITA, but we were advised to check each trip.
Caravans have different hubs we are told, vans not the same.
Old Habits die hard, I guess, but unless you have had the wheel off, I dont think you need to check wheel nut torques so often.

Halve the torque setting then you will do no harm, just waste time.
