Wheel nuts

My 5/8" inch studs with tapered lug nuts on aluminum wheels take a 1-1/16" socket. In addition to having the torque wrench be sure you have a very strong Johnson bar to remove the lugs when necessary. It will take a good deal more torque than 150 lb/ft to loosen the nuts. You may even require a pipe to fit over the bar to break the nuts loose. Never use your torque wrench to loosen a nut or bolt.
