  • Removing Wheels

    This is a pretty simple question. I'm wanting to take off wheels and paint my calipers. I have 2 jacks I am going to use, Just wondering exactly where do I place the jack and will I need a torque wrench to tighten the wheel back up, or will tightening them up by hand work just as good?

    I will probably be taking the front 2 wheels off, painting calipers, then putting wheels back on.. And probably do back 2 another day or later that day

            torque wrench would be your best bet. you may be able to rent one from autozone

            Remember if "the" and "and" are spelled right its not a genuine Ahuhn post
