+1 that's why I said in a pinch I'll always have a torque wrench to change wheels unless I get a flat tire in the middle of bumfuck nowhere and that's where my incorrect method can come in handy (as in stuck somewhere with no cell reception to call said shop or towing company).


anyways I'll take that situation anyday over my engine blowing up in -40 weather and me having to wait 3hrs for a towing and nearly getting frostbite on my toes.
