Proper torque

^^^why is the arrow pointing to 500 Nautical Miles?

Need to rotate it pretty far to hit the torque spec.

Nm = Newton meter
NM = nautical mile
nm = nanometer

Chordless impact gun with 800 ft lbs torque. Crank the nuts on and rattle for a good 30 seconds each lug.

I go to 90 ft.lbs for my non posrche vehicles. 100 ft.lbs always gives me trouble come following tire change.

That won't cut it on an f150. The spec is 150ft/lbs. Must be a little Porsche in f150's

[Scrape]

VW/Audi torque specs are 85ft/lbs when I last checked.

For what it's worth, 500 Nm is 368 Lb/ft.

In August a guy on Kennedy Rd in Brampton lost a wheel from his Toyota van, it rolled 300 feet and found the front of my 1990 Nissan 300 ZX.

Can you imagine if someone was walking along and got hit by this run away wheel!

Some years back, younger sister was hit by wheels off the rear of a transport trk. The full size 70's Pontiac Parisienne she was driving, front end and roof unrecognizable it was so badly mangled plus car shoved some distance off the road.

I've come across so many loose wheels now that when I road test and hear the noise I already know what it is. There's no mistaking something is wrong and people just keep driving .
Most cars use 12mm/1/2 nuts I tighten to 100 ft lbs
Trucks 14mm / 9/16 140 ft lbs

The stock cobra wheels from my car show evidence of being driven with the wheels loose
