My equipment I can remove then with a 1/2 air or cordless. I own a 1" CP for removing wheels on other peoples equipment. Between me and dad's equipment since 1969 never once had loose lug nuts. I also wrenched full time 17 years and not once have I ever know that anything I worked on ever had a set of wheels loose. Ever! I will admit that I buzz them up with a 1/2, torque to 425 ft lbs and then torque again at 450 ft lbs. I dont ever recheck them after that. Never have seen a reason to. You might have run 8 million miles. You have not changed the amount of tires I have.

Antisieze on JUST the threads shouldn’t be an issue. The only lug nuts I put anti sieze on are equipment and my toys. Everything else gets 10w-30 Mobil 1 or whatever flavor I’m using in that vehicle.
Putting antisieze under the head or between crush surfaces is where you run into big trouble. I believe it’s taken down air craft beforePE_T, D.Tibbitt, Studebaker Hawk and 1 other person Thank this. -

I’m personally planning on getting a 40-inch breaker bar to loosen lug nuts, and then finish them off with a 1400 ft lbs Milwaukee battery impact gun. I’m hoping that using the breaker bar will make the battery last longer.Last edited: Dec 3, 2019
