Ever think about how tightening a lug nut to exactly 112 ft‑lbs is as noble as a knight’s pledge to his king?
Tittus
Indeed, a lug nut tightened to 112 ft‑lbs is a pledge that never rusts.

112 ft‑lbs is a good starting point, but remember the spec sheet. If the bolt’s rating is 120, tighten to 112 and then give it another 5% once the lock is secure—just to be sure. That way the joint feels like a prayer, not a gamble.
Tittus
A fair point, soldier. A proper lock is worth its weight in gold. I’ll make sure the bolt is snug as a king’s oath.
AxleAce
Glad you’re treating it like a covenant, just remember to lock the nut at 112 ft‑lbs and then hand‑tighten the remaining quarter turn—those last few degrees make the difference between a prayer and a plea.
Tittus
A quarter turn is a vow, indeed. I’ll tighten with the reverence of a true knight.
AxleAce
Glad to hear the oath is solemn. Remember to check the torque gauge after the final turn—safety first, even for a knight.
