Yep. My previous way for decades I do one wheel, it hits the ground and
tightened fully before even moving to the next one. I have up to this
point need to get in the habit of checking them all once it hits the
ground. There have been plenty of times I have done it but have
forgotten 3 times. 2 times the vehicles left the driveway. Just the
other day I pulled the E300 back over to the driveway and when I got out
it dawned I me I forgot it and caught myself.

If you’re doing tire/wheel work, the last thing you do when the car gets put
back on the floor is to go around and torque every lug bolt. Period. It’s a
pattern you never deviate from. No exceptions.

That lift is going to kill somebody. Since I have had it, it has totally
changed my method of dealing with tires. Previously I would have a wheel off
one at a time, and tighten it then move on to the next one. With the lift, I
have multiple wheels off then am supposed to torque them down when I lower it.
Problem is, I have forgotten to torque them down after lowering the car because
I have done it the old way for decades. I had some loose nuts on my car, and
now her car. Guess I am going to have to put a note on the steering wheel
before I start a job. Fortunately both times were not really big problems.
For me, I noticed it right away when I started driving and tightened them. She
pays no attention to anything and got several miles down the road. It HAD to
have been obvious from the get go. Guess not everyone pays attention to what
is happening with their vehicle.
