Hey guys, a couple of questions for ya. Getting ready to do brakes this weekend, what do you torque your lug nuts to?

Also, what size allen or torx to remove the calipers?

Thanks,
LB

I would say about much torque as it takes to turn a Kia's crank, should tighten your lugs.

Good info.

I don't know, going by that I'd be worried about my wheels falling off

Yea, I know you were just kidding. I've definitly heard the "my lug nuts take more torque than your ____'s engine makes."
But I didn't know they made engines that still make under 110 ft-lbs anymore!

lug torque is somewhere around 100ft pounds..

According to the factory service manual for factory aluminum wheels 140 fp. that’s in-between the high and low range.
