Lug Nut Torque
All of my books are packed away in the garage while the house is being renovated and I need to remove the rear wheels on my 1989 Chevy P30 chassis. Can someone tell me what they should be torqued at ...
Forum Discussion
Some forum members joke about my comments regarding the level of tropical salt air corrosion down here. If you are familiar with dual wheel studs that stick out a half-inch or more past the end of the lug nut, Never-Sieze MUST be used on those threads or when removing lug nuts every single stud will break off inside the nut. I have even tried using dripping candle wax to coat the exposed threads.
So I am forced to use nickel base anti-seize.
My question is this: Has any forum member used a metal based anti-seize only to have lug nuts ACTUALLY loosen unexpectedly? I am talking about REAL LIFE experiences not hypothetical extrapolations or recommended factory procedures written by people who have never ventured outside of gated Detroit communities?
I state this because some "Factory Approved" service procedures are just plain ignorant - for instance the protection of battery posts and terminals.
