So, I have been working on my truck myself

+1 for the Milwaukee 1/2” Impact M18 (2767-20)

 

NEVER use antiseize on lug nuts.
This guys lug nuts were OVER torqued
stamped on lug nuts is 550-600 ft pounds torque. They easily come off with 3/4 impact. And with 4ft long torque wrench it takes no effort to torque to spec.
spray wd40 on nut and torque to spec

 

Clearly Chubby Fly didn't read the manual in the link in message #16 provided by Alcoa, the wheel manufacturer. They don't say anything about using WD-40 on lug nuts. WD-40(Water displacement-40th formula) is not a lubricant. And if you choose to use motor oil as the manufacturer recommends on the threads, the proper torque is 450-500 lbs.

 

clearly i didnt. i use the wd40 to torque the lugs
use antisieze all you want but make sure you go back and torque your lug nuts everyweek.
Thats pretty cringe worthy.
I do all my own work. I torque everything to spec and dont have to stand on a 6 ft breaker bar to get my lug nuts off. I use the torque spec stamped on the lug nuts. Not specificied by a second party fella.

 

While electric impacts are handy, you just can't beat a good 3/8", 1/2" and 3/4" air impact.

 

Well, in the 43 years I have been driving and maintaining my own tractors, following the specs provided by the manufacturers, and using antiseize, I have never had a lug nut loosen over that 4 million miles.
And I don't consider Alcoa to be a "second party fella". Nor have I ever replaced a stud or lug nut, nor had to stand on a 6 ft bar. If I did, my 200 lbs would place approx 1200 lbs of torque on the assembly.

 

Ok,Your getting there.....Good going so far Take your time- Its very easy to do if you think things thru-And work professionaly- Since we are on brakes- Next- Learn to ReBush your Cams with New Kits and Seals- ,,,

 

im very proud of you. i have maintained 8 million miles with wd40

 

I bought my first truck in 95. This is the end of 2019 so that's over 24 years. Never had a single lug nut come loose and I've used neversieze on them since day one. Based on that experience im a firm believer that if a lug nut came loose it's because it wasn't tight to begin with.

 

A second party? Dude alcoa makes the freaking wheels. Saying they are a second party is like saying Caterpillar and Cummins are a second party and instead of torqueing the main bearings to their specs I should call fastenal for the torque specs.
