    How to Use a Torque Wrench - How to Tighten Lug Nuts
    In this article, it tells you why you shouldn’t use an extension bar, a pneumatic wrench or jumping on the wrench to tighten it.

    Thank you guys, now I know that I was applying 145 lbs/ft or a little less maybe cause the stock wrench is about 10" only. I quick internet search say 80 lbs/ft only or around 40 kgs force in my case.

    Now, now I have to reduce my weight by 25 kgs.

    unless may nararamdaman kang pag wiggle. Otherwise hindi kailangan yun.

    I normally use a metal pipe to extend the wrench. It will increase the torque and help loosen the nut.

    father daw ni bloowolf when you use lube the friction lessens. so if you use the same torque value the actual pulling force on the lug stud increases
