Message	specs within the manufacturer recommendations. I ALWAYS use a torque wrench. I'm sure you are aware torquing lug nuts with an air gun is never a good idea but Its up to you if you want to get future braking problems (brake disc wrap). Get this tool, if you still want to use your air gun.... Search for TORQUE STICK Extension on Goggle.
