Finally rotating the tires on my VW after owning it for a year and a little over 17,000 miles driving. I gotta say the nimrod that put those tires on it at the dealer did an outstanding job of laying on the impact wrench to tighten the bolts, as now there's a couple that don't wanna come out.
I walked away for a minute to collect myself, and I'll have to let it back on the ground just to keep the tire from spinning, and hopefully it'll break loose. I put a block in front of the tire to stop the rotation, but after 140 ft lbs. of tourque on the wrench it still slipped some... Manual says go to 88 ft. lbs...
Gotta love idiots. Atleast now if i break down on the road, I know I should be able to break the bolts loose with what I have, instead of needing an 18" breaker bar w/a 18" pipe to get them loose....
I'd call the dealer I bought the car from (ford dealer), but that wouldn't get me anywhere except madder.
