Re: Details, Details.



Have you destroyed the chrome covers for the lug nuts yet? With an 
impact, the covers often create a cushion that minimizes the affects 
of the impact wrench. I would suggest using a break-over bar with an 
extension (cheater) to loosen the nuts. It is also cleaner to break 
off the lug nuts this way and just replace them.
