Wheel torque specs

Posted by Stormin Mormon on November 4, 2009, 7:46 pm

I saw something like that one evening. Couple friends of
mine broke a couple studs like that. One of them, I was over
to thier house when they rang on the phone. Husband and I
went out, bought a couple studs and lugs, and went to go
bring em home. That was a lot of work.

re: "Snap them right off or ...."

The only time I have snapped lugs is when trying to get the lugnut off
an overally tightened/rusted lug & nut combination.

My 97 Dodge Ram Van was the worse.

I don't know about 1997, but on my 55 Dodge Royal Lancer Convertible
and my 1964 Dodge Dart convertible, the lug nuts were right hand
thread on one side of the car and left hand thread on the other side.
Maybe that was the problem on your van!

I use a torque extension with my impact wrench.

Have you ever seen anyone work on your car check lug nut torque? The
only thing I have ever seen is an air impact wrench blasting them
tight.

Supposedly those torque limiters do a good job. I've not
tried one. I either torque wrench, or us a criss cross
wrench.
