January 2nd, 2022 03:51 PM #10I'll explain the logic.
if I researched last Dec 28 before going to thse kamuning service center and knew bawal lagay ng oil yung hole ng pasak. Ma stop ko sana procedure and go to other shop with patch and save 30,000 for all 4 tires change tomorrow. Utang ko pa naman. I still have to pay for unpaid credit card, pay city hall business tax, pay Psbank flexiloan, etc.
Also I read in the manual the following that the tire nuts must be torqued at 120 newton.meter
I bought the following torque wrench at lazada.
Very important ang torque ng nut kasi you don't want to under tighten or over tighten it. If pa change ko all 4 tires bukas, ayaw ko ma overtighten nila using hydraulic impact wrench. And making me spend another round for repair of all the nuts and bolts. That's why I need to know ano torque using such tool. If off. Plan ko bigay io yun torque wrench ko sa vulganizer and let them use it to tighten the nuts.
And until now. Wala pa nag suggest saan meron experienced na mechanic/vulganizer who can install the mushroom patch. That's why since 6 years na rin tires. Palit ko na all tires even mag utang pa ako. I regret tagala I didn't research bawal pasak with oil dati. So most important tomorrow or next week is sure tama na torque sa nuts gamit para hindi ma damage yun bolt section ng wheel, kasi wala na ako budget. Parang meron pa omicron isa ko family member so I don't know how much more to loan. Yun lang. Thanks for all the help. I won't post anymore. After they put the tires. I have to go back to making a living so mabayad ko all utang.

Retorquing Lug Nuts After You’ve Had Your Tires Replaced or Removed Is Crucial - News | South Hanover Automotive Tire Pros in Hanover, PA, Spring Grove, PA, and McSherrystown, PA
Lug nuts keep a wheel securely attached to the hub—which means they are an extremely important component of a vehicle. However, lug nuts can only do their job correctly if a tire technician applies the proper amount of torque to them after tires are replaced or removed. Here are some general tips on torquing and retorquing:
Torque is the amount of force someone applies to a lug nut when they’re tightening it. It is generally listed as a measurement known as pound-feet.
If lug nuts are improperly tightened, they can cause serious problems, including distorting the stud, damaging brakes, and losing a wheel.
Lug nuts must be torqued to the manufacturer’s recommended values, and they must be re-torqued to those values after driving approximately 50 to 100 miles on your new tires after the tire service.
Both under and over tightening can be dangerous. Different vehicles require different amounts of torque in order to properly tighten their lug nuts without causing any damage.
To tighten lug nuts correctly, a torque wrench is required. The torque wrench should be set to half of the required torque at first, and the lug nuts should be tightened using this setting. When all of the lug nuts are tightened, the vehicle should be lowered completely, and the lug nuts can then be tightened to the specified torque.
Every driver should know the proper amount of torque for their specific vehicle—it’s listed in your owner’s manual.
Ensure the lug nuts are checked often to keep them at this measurement. The lug nuts on a wheel must be tightened in a specific order to provide the proper torque. A wheel with five or ten lug nuts is tightened in a star-shaped pattern, while one with only four lug nuts makes an X shape.
