I see a couple things that were done in this discussion that are big no
no's
1.140 Ft/lbs is over excessive pressures to apply to the studs ,all you
need is 90 Ft/Lbs and when you do apply this pressure you do not use the
power of the impact wrench to apply it ,it's fine to use the impact
wrench to get the lugs down ,but to finish to tighten them you should
use either a torque bar which is basically a short extension bar made
from spring steel that has a predetermined torque rating that will cause
the bar to twist when it gets to the torque rating and keep it from
overtightening,
any auto store has these in stock and are avaible thru sears and harbour
freight
and the second thing you can use is a torgue wrench which you can use
either the click type or the old beam type ,I really recommend the click
type .
2.Using anti seize is not to be used because it can cause the lug nuts
to come loose and I have seen it happen ,the propper way to do this is
when you have the lugs and wheel off take a wire brush (you can also use
a wire wheel on a drill also)to your lugs and clean them up real good
,either use air or spray parts cleaner to remove the rust dust so you
can inspect the lugs threads (don't use any spray that will leave a
residual behind ) if there are any signs of excessive wear or you really
cant tell just goto a parts store and ask them to show you a new lug so
you can see the threads that will tell you right away if you need to
replace the lugs or if they are ok ,and to check the lugnuts just spin
them on the lugs by hand they should go on freely if they stop at all
check them to make sure there are no foreign object in them or the
threads are damaged , if damaged replace.
Now when you are ready to put the wheel back on put the lugnuts on dry
,thats how they are intended to be put on so they got a good grip and
lock down tight ,and before anyone starts flaming I have years of
experience doing automotive work and an associates degree in auto diesel
technology as well ,and you will not believe the times I have seen
people put anti seize on lugs cause thats easier to do ,one time I
actually pulled two lugnuts off a car with my barehand the other three
didn't take very much to pull them off ,the only places that antiseize
should be used is on spark plug threads and the sliders of the calipers
and not the threads just the place the caliper slides on the bolts .
Just remember antiseize is a lubricant and keeps things from sticking
,do you really want to use it on something your life depends on?
hope this has been very helpful
