I looked around and don't find where it tells you if the lug nut is torqued dry or lubricated. Not
even the official users manual tells you. I like to put 3-4 drops of rear end fluid I have in a squirt
can on the threads and seat. Don't like it when I can hear and feel the lug nut chattering as it
tries to slip on the aluminum wheel.
The torque is suppose to be 150 ft/lbs on a 14 x 2.0 threads. I decided on a 130 ft/lbs with
lubrication. I can hardly pull that much in a slow and steady fashion. And I have to go around
twice on the same wheel making sure I didn't miss any of the 6 lug nuts.
Opinions about using 130 ft/lbs ???
