Now another question. I've never actually removed a tire and wheel from the van myself. I have, under the rear seat with the jack, an old fashioned four armed lug nut wrench. One socket on the wrench fits the lug nuts. But, should I have instead a breaker bar? And should I use a torque wrench to refit the lugs? What torque value? thanks, DMc > > alistair > > > > On 20-Jun-10, at 8:24 AM, Dave Mcneely wrote: > > When I first got the camper, I went through a drill to try out the > OEM jack.
