Safety Tech Tips - Wheel Torque

[KennyB]

Oh Great.  Just what we need...another controversy with safety implications.  Seriously, though, I'm glad you brought this up.  I have always used a little anti-seize on the lugs since this was recommended in the owner's manual of my '89 930.  I've been more concerned about damaging a frozen lug nut/bolt than about improper torque setting.  I'm now in the habit of checking torque before each session.

I've been thinking about going back to studs/nuts and I suppose the same issues would apply, but I would hate to dislodge a stud trying to remove a frozen on lugnut.
