Brake Job

[bushpilot]

is that NEW spec apply to all years & wheel types ?

my lug nuts are stamped 150lbs (1st time ive ever seen that on
any car or truck ive owned).

not that i doubt anyone but the diff. of 15lbs isnt that much and
frankly as long as youre CLOSE (w/out going over) *AND* youve
tightened 'em EVENLY you should be fine.

I havent had a wheel come off YET.

i just got done doing the rear brakes on my truck. my 1/2 tq wrench only goes up to 150.

how the heck do you get up to 165? swizzle sticks?

better yet, how do you break them loose when you have a flat?

Bigger torque wrench.

To break them loose. Just give the lug wrench a good hard yank.
