Hope it all works out for ya.

I think the lug wrench and the jack are under the hood somewhere. Or maybe that was a D2... worth a look. Otherwise check the owners manual.

Good luck.

its under one of the seats i think.

be careful, my dad actually BROKE the LR wrench trying to get a wheel off.

Thank goodness for AAA (until they found out its a ginormous lug nut--had to go back and grab the bigger tire iron)

Yup roger that 27mm socket. I had to buy a breaker bar and socket when I got my D90 as the wrench wasn't there! Hope you ain't got locking wheel nuts on!!!

Be very careful re-torquing your lug nuts.

These should not be that hard to remove unless they were put on by a gorilla using a rattle gun. Or haven't been off for a while. With my MTR's my tires are off and rebalanced (free at Discount tire) often to keep the wear even.

I think the torque spec is 90 or 100 lb./ft (or ft./lb.) never could remember that one.

Badger1 · 08-13-2007, 08:35 AM

105ft lbs....if I remember correctly.

cdcom · 08-13-2007, 11:20 AM

I suggest using a 6pt. socket as the 12 pt. one I used damaged some of my old lug nuts.. Now I got steelies and normal lug nuts...

rmuller · 08-13-2007, 11:26 AM

103 lbf.ft. or 140Nm .. at least for a D2..

Come on man your going to squabble about 2 ft lbs on lug nuts.....lol!

rmuller · 08-13-2007, 11:58 AM

The guys at the tire shop somehow managed to put them back on at something close to 300lbf.ft.

Yeah you have got to love that. Our local LR dealer did that on my wifes D2, and I am convinced that is why one of the wheel hubs went.
