good year wants to charge em to get my lug nuts off (me = pissed) i gotta wait till we figure out where we packed our air gun to get them off.

That's kinda ****** up. Hopefully they didn't strip any threads

Don't they have the big poster with the torque specs for all cars somewhere? Most places do..

i work on about 300 cars per day and torque every one so i know every torque spec for every car....

thats a good way to have your lug nuts vibrate off and loose a wheel. believe me thats what made me start using a torque wrench.

Haha, it usually makes a pretty freaky noise when they come loose. Oops, how did I know that? :bs:
