    Default Torque wrench

    Saan makakabili nito, yung mid-range brand lang? Ito yung pang-torque sa lugs ng wheels.

    sa suking auto supply meron normally beam type ang available.

    btw ilang newton metre (N m) or pounds-feet (lb-ft) ang required sa wheel nut mo? afaik the tighter the better. i only use torque wrench if the tightness of screws and nut is crucial.

    you can find nuts at auto supply. some have surplus nuts available by the piece, so you don't have to buy a complete set. just bring a sample or bring your car for fitment.

    biggs,
    please don't give the wrong information. not all vehicles have the same torque settings on the lug nuts. the deciding factors by the engineers are:
    a. stud bolt threaded diameter
    b. thread pitch (measurement of thread crest intervals in mm. or threads
    per inch)
    c. the strength grade of the stud bolt or the lug nut
    d. the number of lug nuts on the hub
    e. designed axle load
    to make sure, please refer to the owner's manual or the shop repair manual. and "the tighter is better" maybe dangerous as the stud bolt will stretch beyond its designed tensile strength and when you hit a pothole- voila! you might see a flying wheel
