i really hate screws

[eckorulez]

well today when i went out to my car to change the oil i found my tire, it was flat and i was pissed. I had to take the whole thing off and put on another tire i have. I was also wondering if i could just put them as tight as i can or should i get a torque wrench to make sure. I would also like to know how i could put the tire i have on the flat one.....could i somehow refill that with a tire patch kit or something.

Thanks

just get the nut on as tight as u can... but dont over do it with a hammer or anything. most important thing is the pattern u use when tightening the nuts to make sure its on there straight. (star pattern)

u can also goto an autozone/pepboys n borrow a loaner tool fo free...torque wrench. but the max torque is about 87 ft/lbs. just so u won't warp the brake rotors from overtightening... i've personally seen some pepboys duma$$es tightening lugs w/ impact wrenches (didn't even see a 'torque-stick" attached).

& poot, that was hilarious about the TC rod bushings.
