Speaking of flats, if the lugs are tightened to spec @320-350 ft/lbs, how
in the world am I going to loosen them up with a [hand] lug wrench?
I've tried even with a big-ass piece of pipe on the tool for extra leverage
and couldn't budge 'em.
I have loosened the fronts with an impact hammer and have hand-tightened
them (as tight as I could get them) with the lug wrench just so I can get
them off by hand if a tire change is needed in the field.
I figure if it get a rear flat, the dually will keep me going until I get
to the air tools.
