Hey guys,

So I was pulling my wheels off yesterday and putting them back on in order to make sure they go on with the proper 89ftlb of torque (Bought my car used 2 months ago, old guy didn't drive it nor do much work on it), and noticed that my lugs nuts were VERY hard to turn as soon as the thread made contact with the stud. (My locking nut goes on and spins just fine, so it's not a problem with the wheel studs).

Does anyone know what might be wrong?

Info: About a month or so ago, I didn't have a torque wrench, but wanted to tighten the lugs a bit so I went around with a breaker bar and gave a small tighten to all the lugs (Definitely over 89ftlbs).

Thanks in advance!
