jack position to remove front wheels

Torque wrench

Some of the tightest Lugs, I've come across in a good while..... applied some anti seize for that unexpected emergency along the road... I see a design flaw...... Wheels are off, and will have the new ones on tomorrow... Thanks for the tips....

Crack the lug nuts loose while the wheels are on the ground.:clap: May have been assembeled to the wrong torque. Auto dealer once way over torqued lug nuts on my Magnum R/T--- hand to stand and bounce a bit on an 18" breaker bar to loosen. Dealer got an ear full. SOOO-- use a decent torque wrench.( any kind of lube on the bolt/nut will change the torque rating!!! )

Be careful on those magnum nuts they are just a tin covering and they like to spin on the inner nut.

Do not lube, oil or grease, or use NeverSeize on any nut where the instructions don't call for it. These products reduce the torque required to get the proper bolt tension and torquing to the nominal level will stress the bolt beyond its working limits. This can lead to bolt failure.

Install the nuts clean and dry and use a torque wrench to tighten to the proper torque. It is generally good practice to check the torque on the bolts after a hundred miles or so.

They have all been changed to higher quality aftermarket lug nuts. OEM's are SOOOO cheap sometimes.

Those are rather broad instructions. Provided one is aware of the caveat of lubing threads, it's not an issue and will insure you don't try to remove a corroded bolt at some point.
I lube almost all bolts that are subjected to outside conditions, and have never had one fail. Ever. Also I've never had to try to remove a corroded bolt either.
