No, you cut me off. Shesh... learn how to post will ya!

 

my fault... "ladies first" slipped my mind momentarily

 

Actually if you believe in using proper torque to avoid damaging rotors/breaks, the TireRack people suggest using the dry (no lubricant) method. I know it may not feel as good but it will give more reliable torque numbers. I don't know if any of this matters but perhaps just a little lube would at least help prevent lock up the next time the lug nuts are removed.

"Unless specifically stated otherwise, wheel lug torque specifications are for clean and dry threads (no lubricant) that are free of dirt, grit, etc. Applying oil, grease or anti-seize lubricants to the threads will result in inaccurate torque values that over tighten the wheels."

 

The elbow grease was a joke.

Dont worry about hitting a specific torque on the lugs. Just tighted them as tight as you can with the provided tire iron. That way you are sure that you will be able to remove them with the same tire iron.

I have a 1/2in breaker bar that I use. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to use the stock tire iron to remove the lugs. Thats why I keep the breaker bar in the trunk.
