lug_bolts
Four questions (and some answers) I posted yesterday to another NAM section. Any additional information is greatly appreciated...Thanks!!! Greg
1. Will a standard 4-way lug wrench work on both a 2008 MC (standard 15" wheels) as well as a 2006 MCS (standard 16" wheels)?
2. Without running back and forth with different size sockets, anybody know which size (metric or standard) sockets fit both cars?
3. What is the ft/lb. torque requirements for each car?
4. What's the best tool to "pop" off the center lug cap?
Thanks for saving me several trips!

103 ft. lbs. for R56. I think the earlier models are 89 ft. lbs., but I'm not sure.
A screwdriver. The MINI jack kit supplies a screwdriver for this purpose.
The R56 lug bolts are 14mm and take a 17mm socket. Earlier models use 12mm lug bolts. I don't know what size socket it takes.
