Torque Settings:In a Lotus owner's manual has the only settings I've able to find. That was 200 to 220 ft/lbs of torque. All others only recommend using a hammer. Hard to get a torque setting with a hammer.
A local shop owner, who has always used a hammer with 3 good whacks. We tested his 3-whack method and he hit within 3 to 4 lbs. each time at 210 lbs. He did say, using our tool and a breaker bar, the added leverage causes the wheel to spin on the floor. He suggested blocking the wheel.
The standard tire removal method, is to loosen the spinner with a hammer while the car is still on the ground, jack the car up, remove the spinner and wheel, replace the wheel and finger tight the spinner, let the jack back down and tighten with a hammer, drive the car a short distance and retighten with a hammer. Some say the spinner will self-tighten when driving. That is correct if you don't brake too hard before the spinners are fully tightened.
Changing a tire made easier. Use my wheel chock by jacking the car up so the tire just turns. Place the chock on one side of the tire to loosen and move the chock to the other side of the tire to tighten. Let the jack back down for a perfect seated spinner to the wheel.
It is that simple!
When using a breaker bar, always be pushing down rather than pulling or lifting the breaker bar for a better feel of what torque was needed.
UNDO Direction:
FIRST use the directions on the spinner and engraved directions on the tool.
UNDO right side, turn clockwise towards the front of the car.
UNDO left side, turn counterclockwise towards the front of the car.
TO tighten, turn both sides to the rear of the car.
Warning on wheel Splines.
No matter how tight the spinners are. Worn splines my need replacing.
Sizing your spinner? Asked what size tool to order? For a 42-size spinner, measure the diameter of the base, not the eares, will be about 3 1/2". For the larger 52 size Jaguars was about 4".
