Re: Torquing Wheels? Reply #9 – July 02, 2017, 03:59:09 pm And when you get the stand a simple calculation will enable to properly torque the lugs without a torque wrench. Take your weight (200 lbs) times length of horizontal right angle extension (2.5 ft.) And stand with foot centered on the 2.5 mark. Repeat until lug no longer turns when extension is level. That's 500 ft lbs. Adjust length as needed for proper torque.Don't fall off.🙄😛 Quote Selected

Sure, my intent was not to advise anyone to torque their lugs to 500 lbs....rather a technique to accurately torque them to whatever value desired, without a torque wrench. Quote Selected
