Put some antisieze compound on the mating surface where the wheel center hole sits on the center of the hub. Dissimilar metals mate into each other and corrode together making it very difficult to remove the wheel next time... No lubricant needed in the lugs I agree though.
Sorry but i have to disagree with that "no lubricant to lug nuts". I have used tiny bit of lubricant with lug nuts for the past 20 years changing tires from 2 to 4 times per year with zero issues. Lug nuts have always stayed on tight, but easy to unscrew because of the lubricant.
I have to agree. I’ve been using a small amount of anti-seize for 30 years with no issues with lugs loosening ever. I’ll go with time tested experience. There’s nothing like getting a flat in the middle of nowhere and being unable to break the lug nuts loose with the wimpy lug wrench that came with the car.
Thanks, my first DYI repair job, was putting together 4th parking brake together. (The drum style with hub in the way. ) When I was I was done putting it together, guess what? Lug nuts stud snapped. Because of the last person put his impact on my tire without a torque stick, not in a criss cross pattern. Also a safety concern in case you need to brake those lug nuts free when you have a flat. If you are in the rust belt, there should be no rust on the hub =] Great video.
Glad i came across this clip. Short and to the point. Yyou seem the most straight forward so far. Another one said to grease lug nuts!!!.. So no greae on lug nuts.. Use a torque wrench. Go 1 3 5 2 4 I hav a corolla
Hope you will see this question. I have factory wheels on my 2006 Tacoma. 6 lugs per tire. Where is the best place to get quality lug nuts (24) at a reasonable price?
Good, but you should have used ft-lbs. where does wheel lock like McGard go? Thanks,....Jim PS.....I lower jack so that tire touches, then I proceed to torque wheel, I don’t put all the weight on wheel until all nuts are torqued down.
Always put anti-seize on the threads, just once, and slacken the nuts or bolts after every garage trip, then re-tighten to a torque you can manage if you need to change the wheel on the road. Most Garages / Shops over-tighten the nuts even stripping threads - they don't give a f**k, they really don't.
I always learn new things from your video , I have issue you may know it. 07 Acura TL , the change in battery keep loose the charge the battery is new and the alternator is new some things keep the charge loose , thanks
something is draining your battery…you will need perform parasitic drain test…you can find it on my other channel "auto resource"….or your battery or alternator is bad….you will be surprised, what I saw in past……...
+Toyota Maintenance thanks I will check out the channel , sorry for wrongs spelling , the Acura has new battery and alternator is new replaced , but still in morning the charge in battery found drained there is known common issue with Acura , any way will check what you said about
Thanks for the video. Is there a big difference between 130nm and 140nm? I had my tires rotated and they only tightened the nuts to 130nm. I later checked online and for my car, it said 140nm. Will there be a problem later down the road? Thanks again.
Over torquing the lug nuts with an impact wrench is a bad idea. With grossly overtightened lugs, you can strip studs, and even warp the brake rotor. If you torque lug nuts to factory specifications, your wheels will never fall off.
Great article but you should actually put a small drop, or wipe, of lubricant like CRC WD40 on the stud threads to stop the threads creating their own friction with the nut and potentially seizing later from corrosion (but never too much, just a wipe because you don't want anything to ooze onto the seats) It's like this - the job of the threads are for getting correct tension, the job of the bolt seat is to hold it tight, If the threads are too dry they will cause friction and you will get an incorrect seat tension. same theory applies to engine building
there is a *dry torque spec* for lug nuts, and a *wet or lubricated torque spec* for engine cylinder heads that take the thread and bolt shoulder friction into account already. make sure you use the correct spec.
Your truth is not everyone truth. Every Tom and Jack is a car mechanic these days and knows how to do this and how to that better than others hahaha...it just creates confusion.it was the the same thing when i use to work in the dealership garage every mechanic /Technician was some kind of smart ass..hahaha
Totally useless. If you want to help peolle instead of getting them in your garsge and store ypu would tell them to throw away the tiny pry bar bar , buy a cross bar and show them how hard you need to turn it to get at least a safe torque. You obviously never got a flat and could not get the lugs off. The grease was not to lubricate but to keep from coroding up. Video is for selling.
Thank you for the clear instructions and the difference between the ‘home tightening’ vs. mechanic tightening approach. Very educational -
Slow, clear and neat instructions. Hard to miss any instruction. Great job. Keep up the good work.
I bought a used Avalon and the knot head mechanics used an air gun on the oil drain plug - 200ft/lbs amazing that he did not tear the threads out!
I learn something every time I watch your videos! Thanks!
you are welcome….
Hi from Fremont Toyota dealership and I wanted say that you are appreciated
I have been using never seize grease for 30 years and never had a lug nut loosen and I torque my lug nuts
Thank you thank you thank you. May the Lord be with you always, God Bless you. I really appreciate you posting this video…It definitely helped.

@@punacana If you lubricate the lug nuts you need to reduce the torque, from memory by about 30% but depends on the lubricant used.
Than you so much! We women who must learn do it ourselves , certainly appreciate your thorough explanation

Great video.
All true ….
So did you have to get a new wheel hub
You can get a torque wrench for less than $20 at Harbor freight.

Is there a proper way to tighten lug nuts without using torque wrench?
Sir, i just want to ask what size of wrench that i should use to remove the tire of my hilux tire?
Some said torque is 105 Nm for 4x4 tyre. Which one is correct as you mentioned was 110 Nm
Hope you will see this question. I have factory wheels on my 2006 Tacoma. 6 lugs per tire. Where is the best place to get quality lug nuts (24) at a reasonable price?
Good, but you should have used ft-lbs. where does wheel lock like McGard go? Thanks,....Jim
PS.....I lower jack so that tire touches, then I proceed to torque wheel, I don’t put all the weight on wheel until all nuts are torqued down.
Great video!!! Thanks for producing!
What kind of torque wrench is that? Is it accurate? Would you recommend it?
I believe his torque wrench is a snap on . These are good for engine precise torquing but for tire wheels you can probably use a less expensive one
Wow! I learned a big lesson from this. Thank you for the video.
I know you said dont use greese but how about antizise grease?
Always put anti-seize on the threads, just once, and slacken the nuts or bolts after every garage trip, then re-tighten to a torque you can manage if you need to change the wheel on the road. Most Garages / Shops over-tighten the nuts even stripping threads - they don't give a f**k, they really don't.
HI there. I'm trying to figure out the 2015 Corolla Rim Pattern. Some websites say 5 100 and others says 5 114.3. So which is it?
I would like to have detail advice about cleaning the rotor / rim before installing.... i have rust there... how clean does it have to be?
I always learn new things from your video , I have issue you may know it. 07 Acura TL , the change in battery keep loose the charge the battery is new and the alternator is new some things keep the charge loose , thanks

+Toyota Maintenance thanks I will check out the channel , sorry for wrongs spelling , the Acura has new battery and alternator is new replaced , but still in morning the charge in battery found drained there is known common issue with Acura , any way will check what you said about
I saw brand new battery be bad…I saw brand new alternator be bad too……it is not common, but happens…..
No grease...I told my son that today. ❤
is it unwise to use coper anti-seize on the lug nut threads?
Great informative video ! Can you please leave a link for the digital torque wrench.Thanks !
Thanks for the video. Is there a big difference between 130nm and 140nm? I had my tires rotated and they only tightened the nuts to 130nm. I later checked online and for my car, it said 140nm. Will there be a problem later down the road? Thanks again.
that is small difference
110 nm should be for 90 series prado too ?
Do all Toyota Owner's manual have torque specs written included whenever we buy a brand new Toyota car?
no
Actual repair manuals from Toyota are several hundred bucks.
is it bad to do the final tightening while the wheel is in the air?
Its not bad for the wheel but the car can fall off the jack.
HOW MUCH THAT digital torque wrench my friend?
2k
What model of toyota is it, sir?
Great instruction. Appreciated.
glad to hear that
I use Ingersol Rand impact wrench at maximum setting. Then the wheel won't fall off. Torque wrench does not apply enough power.
Over torquing the lug nuts with an impact wrench is a bad idea. With grossly overtightened lugs, you can strip studs, and even warp the brake rotor. If you torque lug nuts to factory specifications, your wheels will never fall off.
1:53 Mario is that you ?
Thank you!
Thanks man ,,,,, much needed to know ,,,,, A ++++
i have a toyota platz the clips found in thedisc brake is broken how to solve problems because its noisy
How much NM for Camry 2002
It's gre8 how u speak and explain
dobro... hvala
Nothing wrong with a little grease . It will keep away corrosion.
Are you on a playground ?
There is a school next to us….
That damm star pattern shit confused me for some reason the easy was to teach it is just skip a lug..simple

Mabe if it gonna be sitting for awhile in some tall grass but if u change them regularly I don't think so I haven't had any problems
there is a *dry torque spec* for lug nuts, and a *wet or lubricated torque spec* for engine cylinder heads that take the thread and bolt shoulder friction into account already. make sure you use the correct spec.
I hand tighten it no problem

it's not that big of a deal
Yes, there are a lot of trigger happy air gunners out there. It's complete cringe!
