Jeeze Guy's... every time you change wheels and tires, just put a smidge of "never schneeze" on the lug bolts, cross torque to 95 ft. lbs. and that's it. I have NEVER had a wheel come loose before rotation time and/or NEVER warped a brake rotor using this method....and...if you are unfortunate enough to get a flat on the road, you will be able to change the tire with the equipment in the trunk. I have had a Saab indy work on my car requiring wheel removal then needing a 4 ft. pipe on the end of a 18" breaker bar, just to get the wheel off that he wound down with a over torqued impact wrench.( he said if he didn't they would losen up) My wife's 9K is suffering from brake chatter after less than 5K on her new front brakes from the same indy. Wanna bet that when I change her winter alloys for her summers in about 3 weeks that my Snap-On 1/2 impact will not touch those lugs that were wound in last Oct? I've still got the 4' pipe though.
