Well, IF Ford used a wrench, TWICE as long as a headbolt wrench, then we can assume that the hub nut was torqued to 110 FT LBS. If you're WORRIED about your life depending on a COTTER KEY, just think about your life depending on that TINY WHITE, PLASTIC RING, on your VALVE STEM CORE!!!!!!! Or those 4 SMALL, tire FOOTPRINTS, keepin' you "STUCK" to the pavement!!!!!
