Torque on lug nuts

Just re-torqued ours the other day to 120 ft/lbs.

The coach has those darned stainless clad 3\4 nuts.


I goofed up and tried to use a deep 12 point socket and bunged up the nut cap.
Have to remember from now on to only tighten with a six point thick wall socket.

I almost never use a 12 pint socket for any amount of force, either going in or coming off, always a 6 point! Saves both on rounded nuts and bolts, and scrapped knuckles!!
