If you would actually use a torque wrench to properly torque the lugs to 103Nm and use anti-seize or other water resistant lubricant (I use white lithium grease), you will see that the stock lug nut wrench is just the right length to achieve similar specified torque when tightening and long enough to break them loose, by anyone. Short maths show that properly torqued and lubed threads won't require much more torque to break loose than it was required when you installed them. I use a torque wrench the same length as the stock lug wrench and it's a breeze to do. Using an impact wrench on chrome hardware is not recommended, that's why a lot of people both over torque the lug nuts, without any lubing, damaging the threads, and chip off the chrome plating, then complain how rusty and stuck the lug nuts are. |
