Thank You, sounds correct. I like the idea about cleaning the inside of the wheels as well. I will do that in the near future as it looks as though the previous owner never did. I think the fact that the factory recommends only 96 Ft Lbs is testimony that most nuts and bolts really do not need to be as tight as you think they do. I think it is very important to torque all nuts and bolts properly to spec and not by feel.
