[SEL] OT - Lug Nuts

[Rex Hinz]

You are right Arnie , getting them all the same is important , But over 
tighting is a accident waiting to happen , to tight and you streach the 
studs and start to crack the stud in the deep part of the thread and then 
somebody finds your wheel and tire , just hope it's not a laywer . the use 
of oil and anticease is ok on some wheel fastners but not all , I use an air 
wrench but I been doing tires for 35 years and kinda got the feel , I hate 
you buildes with the broken box of dry wall screws in the back of your Dodge 
Ram with the tail gate down spewing them all over whever you go costing 
Ameircan truckers more then they make ,  phew ! got that off my chest , just 
don't over tourqe them and your fine.
