Wheel lug nut torque

Yep.. and that's 48 ft./lbs. *dry*. Not with lubricant.

There are those who will differ, but I recommend against using anti-seize or any sort of lubricant on wheel lugs, though it is tempting, because in so doing you foul up the torque loading in a big way and can end up stretching and breaking a stud in the end.

Thanks guys for the input. I agree there is a big difference between dry & lub torque.
