Man!! I hate it when they use either air guns or the mechanic called Mr

torque
specs for the various fasteners on our cars! Sheesh! Fortunately I was
in
my garage and not along the side of some muddy highway at night!!
Next - should I use Anti-Seize on the lug bolts before I tighten and
"torque" them? There seems to be some metal to metal corrosion on them.
But I seem to recall some controversary about this --
I wipe the threads of the lug bolts over a piece of paraffin before
installing them EACH time I change tires. Never a corrosion problem
since I started doing it 10+ years ago. No other problems either.
Paraffin blocks can be found with canning supplies and economically
purchased in most supermarkets.
