[a/s] Torquing



Carl and I are full of tidbits today - Since there was much discussion recently about removing lug nuts here's one in an old 'By George' article from the A/S "Blue Beret" magazine.

If you like to buy gadgets get you a torque wrench.  It is a good practice to check those lug nuts once a year.  Torque them pretty close to 95 lbs. Don't overtighten them. You'll stretch the lugs, distort your drums, and pull a muscle, too.
