Lug nuts

[CAbimmer]

Removed my wheels last night to install some mudflaps, the manual says lug torque is 150 foot#s is that accurate? That is as high as my wrench goes. I don't want to even think about taking these off without an impact wrench if I get a flat.

You won't have a problem getting the wheels off without an impact wrench. You will be surprised at how little 150 ft lbs is once you do it.

Jason is right---I have snapped off bolts before with a 4 way (not this truck)---impact is better because the vibration will losen and not break the studs if there happens to be a problem.

Just take some time to get used to, my track car is 90 lbs on the lugs. Everything on this truck is large when I beat on it I'm sure I will be glad.

3 good impact trigger squeezes equals 150 ft lb??

I thought it was 3 seconds of hammering with the impact...

Guess this depends on your impact

They come off easy.. also I dont use a impact on any vehicle I care about that has chrome lug-nuts. The hammering of the impact will break the chrome and allow rust.
