[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 1408496, member: 6354"] Don't grease the lug threads. All the torque setting are too light then. My story is getting a set of tires mounted, took the car home to do just that, loosen and correctly torque. I could not get a single lug nut off, with my own impact air wrench, a breaker bar, anything. Took it back down there and complained, was told that that's not possible, they use the limiter attachments. I laughed at him and said once those things are used up, they're solid bars. Their guns couldn't remove them. They had to [I]cut[/I] every lug nut, replace every lug bolt, and buy me a set of nuts, including the locking nut on each wheel. All this was after me specifying manual torque of the wheels. This was a Tire Rack recommended installer, and I called Tire Rack and told them all about it. [/QUOTE]
