Repair guidance for this model year
For 2009 model-year work: Always use a calibrated torque wrench for safety-critical fasteners, and replace lock washers and crush washers on every reassembly.
Tools you will need
- Metric socket set (8mm-22mm), 6-point impact-rated
- Calibrated torque wrench (10-150 ft-lbs covers most automotive jobs; add a 0-250 ft-lbs wrench for truck lug nuts)
- Breaker bar (24" minimum) for initial loosening
- Penetrating oil (PB Blaster or Kroil) for any fastener over 5 years old
- Anti-seize on stainless or dissimilar-metal threads; thread-locker (Loctite blue) on critical reassembly
Frequently asked questions
What is the lug nut torque on a 2009 Land Rover Lr3?
The OEM-specified lug-nut torque for the 2009 Land Rover Lr3 is 103 ft-lbs (140 Nm), using a 22mm socket on M14x1.5 thread studs. Use a calibrated torque wrench in a star pattern, in two passes (50% and 100%), and re-check after 50-100 miles of driving.
What socket size do I need for the 2009 Land Rover Lr3 lug nuts?
The 2009 Land Rover Lr3 uses a 22mm socket. A 6-point impact-rated socket is recommended over a 12-point chrome socket — 12-points round off lug nuts under impact-driver use.
Are the 2009 Land Rover Lr3 fasteners metric or SAE?
Metric is the standard for this vehicle. Most fasteners on this vehicle are metric (M6, M8, M10, M12, M14). Bring a full metric set; SAE substitutes can round the head. Bolt-head markings are the fastest way to confirm grade and material at the bench.
