    Been using 90 ft/lb here with anti-seize on threads only for decades with no problem removing.

    See, I torqued mine to 105 ftlbs per some torque table I got off here and the local tire guy fussed at me for putting them on too loose! I don't care about what he says as they feel right to me!

    Back on topic...don't you love fighting your jack into place? It comes out pretty easily, but man, getting the nose of the jack back into the spring-loaded clip is a knuckle-buster sometimes!

    i can't get any leverage with that tiny wheel wrench - i bought a good cross and use that instead.

    yes, I run mine at 80 ft/lbs but I wanted to see how bad the factory wrench was... I just carry a torque wrench now...
