absolutely, this made me feel pretty dumb.

 

Glad it all turned out well!

 

Don't feel dumb. You didn't know, we all learn from our mistakes.

 

Not to bump an old thread needlessly, but I found today that one of my lugs is missing.

It's the locking lug, so now I have to get an extra set. Thing is, the dealer didn't give me the original lugs, so I'm sorta stuck for a while. I have no idea how long I've been driving around like this, and of course no one in town has an M14 x 1.25 replacement. I'll need to call the nearest dealer on Monday.

 

Torque at 88.5 ft lbs, but as suggested on the forum, check them frequently. I rotate (front to back only) every 5,000 miles and have never had any of them loose, but I can imagine how you must have felt...scary, for sure.

 

Why in the world would you put locking lugs?

It would be easier to take the whole car than your wheels.

 

+1. I know from (near death) experience that once a day is definitely not enough.
