How are you managing that?
Are you using air tools and cross-threading the nuts before using the wrench?
If you are using air tools it might be easier getting the nuts started by hand before using the gun - at least you know the threads are aligned rather than hoping the gun would do it.
Might be a no-brainer, but the studs and nuts do have the same threads on them, don't they?

Spin the nuts up by hand then use a torque wrench, I've had my wheels off about 10 times now in 6 months and touch wood they are fine, may be worth using a little copper slip on the stud as well before putting the nuts on.

What is the correct torque settings for a UK MY99.
Also i'm now running 17" OZ Chrono with different nuts (the ones supplied by OZ), will that use the same torque settings ?
Thanks, Graham
