While I am thinking about it, this past weekend when I dropped the fuel
tanks I needed to pull one of the wheels to get to the air/liquid
separator that was located behind the wheel. I torqued the lug nuts down
to 100 ft-lbs based on what Les Schwab torqued them down to when I had
the tires replaced. But I seem to remember that the manual had some
absurdly crazy torque specification. Unfortunately, I don't have the
manuals here to reference that specification, but I thought it was in
the order of 250 ft-lbs. Maybe I am thinking of something else....

So what is a good torque for the lug nuts? I have the Alcoa hubs instead
of the original steal hubs if that makes a difference.

Thanks.
