Wheel Brush
Lubricant on wheel nuts?
I recently had the wheels off my 1 ton Ford to fix a leaky brake caliper, and to bleed the system. I sprayed the studs with WD40 when I put the wheels back on, and torqued them down to spec. A week and a half later, I happened upon a sale on tires and decided to get the tires on the truck replaced. When I went to pick it up, the tire shop told me that they had to spend 15 minutes on each wheel cleaning the WD40 off the studs. The tire shop manager told me that lubes like WD40 cause the nuts to become overtorqued, and that the best thing to do is just to clean up the threads with a wire brush, and at the most, use dry graphite.
Has anybody ever heard this one? I have used WD40 for years, and I have never had a problem with getting the lug nuts off, or damaging studs or wheels from overtorqueing them.
The tire shop is right, to a certain extent. Use of WD40 will throw the torque setting off when tightening. It even says so on most car manuals. You haven’t had problems getting the lug nuts off or having the lug nuts become damaged because Ford has high torque specs for its trucks and large cars – usually over 100 ft-lb. Using WD-40 is more troublesome for import cars (European and Asian) whose torque specs are 60 to 70 ft-lbs. Having each lug nuts torqued at the same torque setting is just as important as having them torqued at the proper spec. This is because the lug nuts should be torqued evenly so that the rotor doesn’t vibrate or move vertically while braking. By doing so, you minimize rotor warping and scoring. So clean the threads with a wire brush next time.
