I dont know why guys torque the lug nuts to 100#,just tighten them good & tight by using the socket on the hand crank.The length of offset on the crank will keep the lug nuts from being over tightened. Lateral end play of 1/16"or less is nothing to worry about on axle shaft.Even more end play likely wouldnt hurt anything.
