They give you directions on how to torque it properly. Hand tighten the lugs in a star pattern (dur), then first stage torque to 35ftlbs with a torque wrench, then again to 80ftlbs, all in a star pattern.
Check after a week of driving and retorque to 80ftlbs, as well as the wheels. Air gun or not, you need to make sure its torqued with a troque wrench.
Hey thanks for that great tidbit of info Al...ill be sure to do that next time so I can avoid any more complications.
