[QUOTE="art miller, post: 1408520, member: 19411"] I agree, it is not recommended you use grease on lug nuts. I make sure the threads are clean and free on rust. I apply ACF50 and wipe clean. That will prevent rust and will not distort the torque value. Mac gave a good lesson on how to tighten the lugs. When I need a set of tires I remove two at a time and take them to the tire shop in my other car and have them mount and balance. Never would I let a tire shop put the wheels on my vehicles unless I was there to witness they use a torque wrench. I have had cars with disc brakes for 50 years and never had a warped rotor on my personal vehicles. It happened twice on company cars and after that I insisted the tire shop use a torque wrench while I witness the operation. They do not welcome that!!! Tuff shit. [/QUOTE]
