Tire rotation?

[bloowolf]

I wonder how our weight can be used as a torque indicator. I always tighten my lugs with my weight by standing on the wrench, that's all, no jumping on it, just a 2 second stand on each lug. I am 65 kgs.

The tire boys most probably tighten it more as i have to jump around 1-3x before i get 1 loose, unless, it tightens over time with use?

Naalala ko tuloy si Botchie Santos ng Topgear magazine.
Yung proper way is to tighten it buy not ovetighten with your hands then use a torque wrench to check. But if you do not have that wrench, just tighten by hand. It won’t loosen if it tightened just right. You are not even supposed to grease the nuts. It has a tendency to loosen when greased.

Hand tighten nga lang, no need na sipain pa para humigpit, kontra naman sa takbo ng gulong kaya hindi yan matatanggal. Bawal nga din ang grease.

I always have a 1/2 drive swivel 18 inch handle chrome vanadium breaker bar under the car seat and appropriate sized deep socket for the lug nut. Adds extra self defense, kesa tubo ang dalhin ko.

Passenger cars are usually 90-110 N.m, HD trucks around 150-200 N.m

Torque specs for lug nuts

The torque specs are all in the manual. With all my different cars through the years, the manufacturers have always included the torque specs in the manual. All we have to do is read it. Admittedly, I have made the mistake of greasing the nuts before, since this was what was taught to me by my father. Now I know better.
There were two memorable instances i recall involving tire mechanics. One was when I bought tires from Tire Center. They used a pneumatic wrench. When I got home, I wanted to loosen it so that I can torque. It was so tight that I had to get the help of our fat househelp to step on the wrench & jump on it. Imagine doing it on 16 lug nuts. The other was when I suffered a flat & had it fixed in your friendly sidewalk vulcaniziing shop. When he loosened it, he felt that the nuts were too loose. Sanay kasi gumamit ng extension bar to tighten the nuts.

the listed torque specs are for dry unlubricated threads
