Shovelhd,

Okay, as I mentioned, I bought a torque wrench like you guys suggested. I just set the lugnuts to 94 lbs as you indicated. But now I've a couple of questions I couldn't find answers to on the Search, and since you know about torque wrenches.......................

Should the tension be released when storing a torque wrench?

When I loosened the lugnuts, I used the torque wrench. Got to thinking later, maybe I should have used a lug wrench. Which is correct?
