Torque Specs for wheel lugs

[Pdwight]

I have a 19V Craftsmen Impact driver rated at 135 ft lbs , considering how over rated everything usually is I figure it is probably closer to 110 ft lb ...it is whet I use to remove tires and put them back on. Like some when I purchased a new set of tires last year I took the car home and had to stand on a breaker bar to get the lugs off as soon as I got home and then I put them right back on with the Battery Impact Driver.

Next time I buy tires I am taking the wheels in myself off the car.

The tire dealer won't be able to try and sell you a four wheel computer alignment, if you just bring in the wheels without the car!
