I need to replace a standard towball with one suitable for an Alko stabiliser hitch.

What Torque setting should I use when tightening the bolts for a fixed towbar?

    Alco website states 210Nm recheck after 600 miles and readjust if required...

    Tighten till you f4rt, then another 1/4 turn wink

    You'd do well to over tighten them laughing

    I could never get mine to 210nm, but never had one come loose.
