keithandpenne, FWIW, generally when a wheel comes of from broken lugs it's due to under torqueing the wheels rather than over torque. Because trailer wheels do not center on a pilot hole, but rather with the lug nuts, when they are not tight enough they work on the studs until the studs break. I find very few trailerist carry a torque wrench. I've checked many trailers with my torque wrench and I've not found one yet that was tight enough. Many times by a quarter turn or more. BTW, I learned this lesson the hard way when I nearly lost a wheel. I was lucky that I noticed a broken lug on my walk around and didn't loose the wheel.
