HOW TO PROPERLY TORQUE WHEEL LUG NUTS EASY!

- This is a video tutorial on how to torque your wheels to proper manufacturer specification. If you do not torque your wheels properly or in a star pattern the lugs can walk right off the threads and subsequently the tire might fall off while in transit.
Here is a list of proper lug nut torque specs: www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete...

On aluminum or magnesium wheels I like to use more than on pass in tightening the lugs. What I would typically do is torque them to 40 ft-lbs on the first pass in the star pattern and go around again at 80 ft-lbs for the second pass. For a three pass installation on magnesium wheels I'd do something like 25, 50 and 80 ft-lbs in the star pattern. For billet aluminum lug nuts I always cleans the stud threads and apply a little anti-seize compound to the threads before installation.
Did this today helped so muchh tyvm 🙏
This is helpful but 3 to 4 ugga duggas are usually sufficient for most vehicles.
I agree but everyone here cries if I don't use a torque wrench. Thanks for watching!
What's ugga dugga?
@@galanoth17 sending it home with a air gun
@@galanoth17 thats the sweet sound of an impact wrench makes when the nut bottoms out.
@@galanoth17 two Burps with the big gun lol.
That's a fancy torque wrench, among the most expensive I seen online was the Snap On brand among a few others, maybe for a shop working all day doing this stuff the steep price is justified if the quality really is there but there are so many well reviewed torque wrenches for about $50.
I have the same torque wrench haha. I got mines back in 2014, still looks brand new since I only do maintenance on my car.
Excellent video thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
No torque specification description link for different cars that you said.
I don’t have a torque wrench, I have been testing the newly purchased impact wrench only in untightening wheel nuts but have been tightening them by hand. I have ordered a torque stick for 120 nm but I have only tightened the nuts with a wheel brace and pipe. I’m not sure if I can hand tighten whell nuts to 120 nm or more, I’m certain I will not have damaged the nuts by hand tightening.
I’m glad it was explained that I need to put the wheel on first
Hello..how about on a 91-94 chevy pickup 1500 torque wrench..is it the same 100 foot pounds or is it 120 foot pounds for the chevy pickup
Where to buy this wrench
I changed from my winter tires to summer tires: I first tightened in a star pattern as much as I could with the wheel in the air. Lowered the car to the ground and then torqued the nuts in a star pattern to the proper value.
A few weeks later a wheel partially came off. The garage said my wheel nuts were loose. I am baffled. In the past 40 years I have always tightened the lugs nuts without using a torque wrench (prob. too tight) and never had an issue. I only started using the torque wrench several years ago.
Is that an issue with the tires on the ground and the weight of the car causing the torque wrench to incorrectly click if the wheel is not snug enough to the rotor ?
One thing I do recall, is when I removed the winter tires, one lug did seem not tightened very tight.
I am baffled. Thanks
The nuts can loosen with the wheel’s rotation but I don’t know how long that takes. One tip I got was to re-torque your nuts some time later in case there was a positioning problem, same logic as with snow chains where you re-tighten them after driving for a few minutes.
Wheel nuts used to be left and right hand thread, I’m not sure if that’s the case now, they used to have a “L” stamped on them.
is it true to retorque the wheels after 50 miles of driving
Might help to set the torque wrench before you wait for the pump
I like torquing wheels everytime i'm done with a brake job but something that has always bothered me is that because you are using what is basically a long ratchet with a torque mechanism in it it feels like you are not really tightening anything because you have so much leverage,lol, makes you wonder "is that it??" versus using a 4 way where
is a totally different feeling. BTW i know Snap On is a super duper awesome brand but i hate those square torque wrenches with that swiveling head,lol, i like my torque wrenches round.
Thanks for watching!
I need to know something, when you torque the bolts do you put it parallel with the ground and pull up or push down?
Thanks. GREAT resource! But your "list of proper lug nut torque specs" link does not lead to what we desire.
They must have taken it down. Might want to google it per vehicle. Thanks for watching!
Too many idiots at tyre stations overtighten these nuts which makes it impossible for anyone to change a flat tire in an emergency.
It can also wreck alloy wheels. The number of times I've seen teenagers at these shops let looks with air tools, and no torque setting on the impact tool.
Hi, your lug nut torque link does not seem to be working correctly ... Thanks
Make sure you have some sort of PDF file viewer. It works ok on my end. Thank you for watching!
how much torque do you apply to the Ridgeline Honda lug nuts 2017
Owners manual
Hi Great Video! You forgot to mention that there may be a wheel lock.
Yeah true. They seem rarer these days though. Thanks for watching!
What model number is that Snap-On Tool ratchet?
That is a Snap-On TQFR250E you don't need one that expensive though. Thanks for watching!
My owner's manual says torque between 79 and 94 ft-lbs. Should I go low or high on the number of ft-lbs?
I go for the high number on lugs. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. Is there a big difference between 130nm and 140nm? I had my tires rotated and they tightened the nuts to 130nm instead of 140nm which I later found out when I checked my manual. Will there be problems down the road? Thanks again.
Not really. Should be fine honestly. Thanks for watching!
This is a good example of how not to torque down the lug nuts on your cars wheels hes not even holding the torque wrench in the right angle.
Thanks bud
Raul is right. Torque wrench is not a tool you just crank this video is bad info. Torque is consistent pressure until you reached desired torque where the wrench head snaps or pops and you let off. The car should never be lowered without the wheel secured by at least one lig to the hub and tightened to a minimum of 60 ft lbs. Vehicle should not be rolling back and forth while desired torque is being met. It's not a true torque.
Are you dumb 😂😂
@@Bamaca_B58 yup that's how I do it I leave the Jack supporting that cars weight but enough so the wheel does move then torque them a drop the car
@@Motorsports_3 you mean so the wheel, doesn't move, right?
Man, I have the old school cheapie with the needle and gauge. Step one, buy a $500 torque wrench! One day, I hope to.😊
Been using a needle wrench for over 40 years and have never had to recalibrate it once.
hi how much torque do you apply to the Nissan sunny ex lug nuts 2014 model
80 foot pounds. Thanks for watching!
👍👋
How do you found out the number 100 pound for that tire ?
You can Google it, there are a lot of tire sites that have the info. I have a resource called AllData that you have to pay a subscription for that tells me all the Torque Specs. Thanks for watching!
My 2018 Colorado’s lug nuts require 140lbs of torque🙄
Jeez that's a lot. My 2005 F150 has 150lbs on them according to the manual which is crazy! Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros Worked on a new Land Rover discovery here in the last 2 weeks doing brakes,they have some big wheels and its 103 lb/ft , yeah 140/50 is quite a bit, i believe 103 is because they are aluminum wheels also but who knows.
What is the spec of a 08 f150 fx4?
I have a 2005 F150 and it is 150 ft. lbs. Thanks for watching!
I don't know what you mean by "give way"
the torque wrench just makes a click and cam inside moves so you can feel it in wrench
Nope not right
how so?
