I like to take out each lug nut on any new car, apply some anti-seize compound, and torque them down to spec. Saves trouble later, especially for a roadside swap.
In light of nxm150's nightmare, I thought this would be a good time to ask for the specs. Are they in the owner's manual or just the shop books?
- Torque spec for each bolt
- Head size (Torx?) for tool
I've had tire places slap those nuts on with a V-Twin powered impact wrench.. then I have to jump up and down on some crummy kit tire iron on the side of the road taking their name in vain.
