wheel studs

I don't know if any one else has the same problems as I do, but here goes. When rotating tires/changing tires I have had 6 out of 16 break off. I have had many people tell me it is from overtightening them, but I have been the one changing them and tightening them and I use a torque wrench every time. When I go to loosen them they just get tight and I have to force them to break off or I cant' get them off again. Just wondering if any one else has had this problem. Thanx.

Haven't had that problem yet. What torque value are you going to? I do know of one car-guru who uses anti-seize on his older cars' lugs. Perhaps all your lugs were damaged in the past by a cheezy shop using air tools on them.
