I'm in the middle of my front brakes as I type (by candlelight, so to
speak; it's so romantic...)
Each wheel has, of course, 4 nuts. Each lug nut was tightened by me to 75
ft lbs back in the summer. Well, I just measured the torque necessary to
break them loose just now, in two pound increments on the click-wrench.
Guess what? Each one required about 90 lbs to crack free.
No corrosion, no friction coatings to break down, little time, and still a
20% increase in torque needed to release.
Now what happens to that crank bolt? It's undisturbed for years, suffers
rust, and is done up to almost twice the torque figure. No wonder thay're
so hard to undo.
