By the way, it’s not a Torque Wrench.

It’s a Turney – Clicky – Torquey - Thingy

I’m not worried.
He’s too busy dumping Mobile 1 in the COOLANT OVERFLOW of his Audi.

No, he's dumping into the windshield washer fluid reservoir!

Sears Craftsman it is.

OK, probably a dumb question, but here goes:

When to you torque your wheels -- while the wheel is still in the air (car on jack), OR after the wheel is on the ground (jack is bye-bye)?

I've seen both done, and I suppose I do both - I torque when the wheel is still in the air, but then do a recheck about 100 miles later un-jacked.


...oh, and I also have the same 1/2 inch drive Craftsman torque wrench.

On the ground of course so you don’t rock it off the jack.
