I need torque settings/ jack placement
Hello-
Taking off the wheels for the first time to clean the wells. I've done the driver's side front already but I've just tighten the lug nuts enough to lower the jack. Can someone give me the settings please? I have a craftsman wrench if this makes a difference.
Also, where are you guys placing your jacks when you lift?
I've got a dk20. I came from the side when I did the driver's side front tire. I'm so paranoid that I used a hockey puck WITH a cloth towel over it and I still felt uncomfortable. It didn't feel right. I know the dk20 will slide under from the back but will it slide under from the front??
Thanks in advance

Re: I need torque settings/ jack placement (ledfoot)
I believe the lugs are 30-60-100 ft-lbs in a cross-tightening pattern. I also try and get as much done as possible while it's in the air and do the final tightening when back on the ground. I personally tighten to a final of 95.
As for the jack, I center under the forward and rear cross-members using a pice of wood to span the entire rib....hope this helps

Regarding the jack points, I've emailed you a diagram that Chem Zabrowski previously sent me.
Hope it helps,
