This thread is not about my jeep but I would like some advice.
I was rotating tires on my 02 Impala. This is only the third time the wheels have been off. I finished the front and torqued the nuts to 100 lb with nearly new torque wrench. I put the rear wheel on and torqued the nuts up with my impact wrench just till it started rattling. Then I dropped the car and then continued tightening up the nuts with my torque wrench. I seemed to be tightening forever and then I broke off a stud. WTF!! Any idea what went wrong.
