Subject:Lug Nut Torque

OK everyone,
My '80-'83 Haynes manual says 125 ft-lbs. for the lug nuts.

I don't have my Bentley handy to check what they say, but there may be a
different spec for Syncros -- I don't know.

I set mine to 125 ft-lbs, and have no trouble getting them off.  Hell, I
don't even have to stand on the wrench like I did before I started
torquing the lug nuts with a torque wrench.
