Why not use the impact driver to loosen the wheel nuts after jacking up the wheel?

The tool kit has a threaded guide in it to help put the wheel on. You can see what a pain it is to get the first bolt aligned if you don't use it.

I would never use an impact driver to tighten wheel bolts. Many impact drivers will over torque the bolts, even on the lowest setting. Easy to spin them in by hand and then use a torque wrench set at the proper torque.

He isn't tightening them in the right sequence. Always skip over one bolt going in one direction.

Yaa, that video was the first time I have ever flushed the brakes. I found out about the other bleed nipple afterwards.

So that's what that other thing is in the Porsche kit an alignment tool? I'll have to give that a try next time.

If there's a better way to tighten the lugs I'll do that too. Didn't know direction made a difference.

I guess the whole point of that video is how easy it is to do and quick too.

For the $60 I spent on the Motiv, I beat the dealers cost now and into the future 1000%
