Recently repaired truck from another shop which did $1500 damage to truck. They didn't tighten lug nuts to spec and wheels came off. They attempted to replace damage studs and used wrong size studs. Removed rotor from hub and broke off bolts. Reinstalled hub bearing with no lubrication on wheel bearing or grease and over tighten nut. I love it when other shops destroy things makes my day. $$$

The instructions tell you what you will need (Dynatrac anyway).........the spanner socket I purchased had been miss marked (thanks NAPA).......well worth getting if you get the correct one though.
