Wait, what??? 145nm on hub bolt? What happened to 200nm+180 degree turn? Also every manual states that fastener can't be reused due to stress that it previously received.

Salmon RushDie says:

Hangs protective mat over grille. Never actually leans over the grille, preferring to lean over the unprotected fender.

Mark Blackman says:

what would the torque wrench settings be for an alloy wheel for this NM or LBS FT ?
