Question Foot Pounds and Socket Size
Does anyone know how many foot pounds to torque the wheel lug nuts?
Is a 19MM socket the correct size for removing the lug nuts?

Check the manual. I forgot the exact number. Somewhere between 80-90Ibs.

I have to look for it when I was rotating my tires about three months ago.

Cheers !!!


BTW, 19mm is the correct socket size.

I recommend a 6-pt deep socket in 19mm.

The owner's manual has the torque spec - I used 72 which is mid range.
