[AT] Lug Nuts

On my Stealth trailer, the specs for lug nut torque are much higher than they are on my car or pickup. That could be why.

But if they get their hands on your trailer/tractor or whatever they whip out the impact wrench and just wail on them.  Not sure why they aren't as careful.

You may have been the victim of a tire technician with more impact wrench than brains.   (-;

Right rear trailer tire shed its tread a few miles before we got home from Gadsden show couple weeks ago; that was lucky because I can not see the rear axle tires. Anyhow, could not get any lug nuts loose using “X” lug wrench; had to use the pneumatic power drill.  So, just a reminder to anyone who hasn’t had to use hand lug wrench in years. Herb(GA)
