Default Re: Lug nut torque

DANGER - INCOMING GEEK ALERT!!!

Just for fun, I chucked my lug wrench (normal Model A size) onto the digital torque meter here at work. Leaned on her like I was loosening a lug nut and measured darn close to 50ft-lbs. I could have pulled harder, but never remember doing so to loosen a wheel.

So for me, 50ft-lbs sounds good.

Always good advice to check prior to a drive.
