Its a good job you dont have boards M,

I found a present for you yesterday hornel, it's one of the white BMW bags that you put your dirty wheel in after you put the spare on to stop your car getting dirty

I normally do it by feel as well but then I haven't taken the wheels off the m for a long time as its usually new tyres time that they are off. I've been working on my pickup and do those by hand and usually do one he other cars I have had over the years.

If you pull hard on a wheel brace you'll exceed 120Nm. I've generally only bothered with torque wrenches for cylinder head bolts etc. to ensure uniform tension and prevent over-tightening. I once sheared a cylinder head bolt after a top end re-build - horrible feeling!
