Hey Richard,

It's been a LONG time since I worked on an AA, but you aren't getting any responses, so figured I'd jump in with what little I remember.

Torque- I used the "human torque wrench" arms to get them as tight as I could. Guessing around 80 ft./lbs.-ish.

If I recall, it was driver's side going CCW on the fire truck I worked on. But the tow truck I worked on had no CCW lug nuts.

CCW refers to "counter clockwise" (to tighten) otherwise known as "left hand thread."

A previous reply (of three query) at https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showp...52&postcount=2

Brain assist - left hand (drivers) side are left hand thread. (CCW)

On cars with directional lug nuts, always tighten toward the front of the car...

Just look at the portion of the stud that's sticking out past the nut.
