Common fastener categories on the 1958 Land Rover Series Ii
- Wheel / lug nut torque and thread spec (covered above)
- Brake caliper bracket bolts (typically 80-130 ft-lbs) and slide/guide pins (18-35 ft-lbs)
- Engine oil drain plug torque — rarely above 30 ft-lbs; always use a new crush washer
- Transmission pan, valve cover, and intake manifold bolts (low torque, often 89-106 in-lbs)
- Suspension control arm, sway bar, tie rod end and ball joint torque
- Spark plug torque (typically 10-15 ft-lbs on aluminum heads — do not exceed)
- Differential cover bolts (RWD/4WD only) and transfer case fasteners
Repair guidance for this model year
Heads up for 1958 Land Rover Series Ii owners: Vehicles this age frequently have seized fasteners due to thread corrosion. Apply penetrating oil (PB Blaster, Kroil) 24 hours before any wrenching, and have a thread chaser on hand. Lug studs are particularly prone to thread damage at this age; if a nut spins on without engaging, the stud is stretched and must be replaced before the wheel goes back on.
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 1958 Land Rover Series Ii?
The OEM-specified lug-nut torque for the 1958 Land Rover Series Ii is 103 ft-lbs (140 Nm) 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 1958 Land Rover Series Ii lug nuts?
Most modern Land Rover vehicles use a 19mm or 21mm socket. Older Land Rover models from before 2000 may use a 13/16" SAE socket on certain trims. Confirm against the actual lug before purchasing aftermarket wheels.
Are the 1958 Land Rover Series Ii 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.
