Lug nut torque?

[Rixtoy1]

Going to paint and decal my brake calipers this week-end.
Perhaps a "dumb" question - what socket to use to remove lug nuts (or standard tire tool?).

Then do the replaced lugnuts need to be torqued? If so, to what?

thanks.

1) 19 mm or 3/4"

2) Yes, to 100 foot-pounds.

Believe it is on page 332 of the owner's manual

Thanks!

Owner's Manual?

My dealer kept it as collateral until I make a payment . . . the cool thing is the repo man hasn't been able to catch me!

Kept your owner's manual as collateral? Isn't that like a dad saying to his daughter as she leaves for her prom with her date, "If you want your bras back, you'd better be home on time!"
