Why do some mechanics always super over-tighten things? I went to rotate the tires on Mrs. Noah's DD today. The last time anyone's touched the wheels was at the dealer. I could not get 2 of the lug nuts off. I used the L-shaped breaker bar from the trunk, stood on the end of it like I usually do (and I weigh about 165#) and bounced up and down...and nothing budged on 2 of the lug nuts. In the end, I took the 4-ft long handle from my floor jack and used it as a breaker bar to get them loose. 94 ft-lbs my a**. What's wrong with just torquing things up like the book says?
