Also ang nangyari is nag move yun car when using the torque wrench. So I was worried

1. Baka na over tighten ko 2 days ago the nuts to say 180 kn. meter. (120 kn.meter ang nasa manual).

2. Second is if I'd change the tire to reserva. Worried baka ma tangal yun jack. so want to know if necessary ang jack stand.

3. I have to loan money just to buy the 4 tires. I'm broke na because of the pandemic. Wala business for 6 months. Have to pay pa madami unpaid loans. Tapus padating pa Omicron na ito. Hay.

4. Lastly, bukas if the technician at any tire service center will use impact wrench either on 2nd pasak repair or installation of 4 new tires. It will take me effort to tell him to use my torque wrench. So I have to know exactly ano torques ng hydraulic impact wrench so have the reasons and justification to confront any technician/vulganizer. I tried to google yesterday pero wala ako mahanap na exact torque of the impact wrench. Hence I posted again today to ask some critical information before tomorrow.
in my more than 30 years of car ownership and self-maintenance and repair,
i have never used a torque wretch on my wheels.
and never has any of them fallen off or died or fractured from over-tightening.

well, once...
i forgot to tighten my wheel after replacing it.
after a few meters... "what is that funny sound...?"
heh heh.
