This takes the guess work out of Wheel Torque

I'll bet in practice they are all torqued to whatever the air gun happens to be set at, very likely "MAX", also known as "torque them til they yield, then back them off by one-quarter turn, and claim 'they came in like that'..."

 

I've watched Discount Tire do mine, and they do in fact use a manual, clicky torque wrench for tightening. At least my local one does.

They do, however, use the 80 ft-lb figure from their chart, and "discount" me showing them the 76 ft-lb in the manual.

I recall a @NutzAboutBolts video, he used an eighty foot pound torque stick. Pretty close anyhow.

I use 76. Our civics and accords were always 80. Our daughters pilot is something like 95?

 

Good luck with the chipmunk trap. We have a squirrel that keeps stealing the squash and zucchini blossoms. Trap out and he has gone in, but not far enough. We use a live trap, and take them 15 miles away (or so). This one has a distinct mark on it, and her father said he's caught him before, so he's learned.

But they stayed away from the Boysenberry bush long enough for a great Fathers day dessert fresh from the garden boxes .

 

i got two munks in one trap at the same time yesterday. they were having a good time in there, until i dropped them off at the river.
i was going for a red squirrel, which showed up the other day and boldly tore into my finch sock five feet from where i was having my coffee.
he showed up in the trap this morning, and took a trip to davy jones locker.
if we get too many chipmunks, i put out a 5 gallon bucket with an inch of water and some outs. then i run a 1 x 4 from a wall to the bucket.

i rarely rotate my tires, but may pay the price of early wear. i have never gotten more than 40k out of the oems, and more like 25-30.
usually, one becomes so noisy, i have to buy all four.

 

beautiful bird, much prettier than our bluejays.

 

sounds like the perfect time to invite doc @tochatihu

 

Um OK, I suppose for many people, interaction with Stellar's happens in campgrounds. Like most in their family (Corvidae) they are clever group learners and will open food containers if unguarded. Related ravens are tops for me. In Grand Canyon they mimic a wide range of sounds (just for play it seems) and can lead to much confusion.

A 'D' in bird class can be forgiven, I suppose, if it is followed by a durable appreciation for the critters. As seems to be the case here. Seriously, 'they' were not expecting (most students) to remember all that stuff for all your lives. Good 'nuff to have a general appreciation of Biology and how it fits together.

On the other hand, treating tire rotation as other than great fun - well I just don't know what to say...

 

thanks, that was everything i hoped for.

 

we get a lot plain ol' brown birds. oh well, they gotta eat too. but i have to constantly shoo the morning doves who climb into the feeder and block all the other birds from eating.

do you have hummingbirds?

 

i put sugar water out for them, works pretty well.

other than hummers, goldfinch and cardinals are my favorites and plentiful.

 

One student spent long time in the field, ran out of (real) sugar, and put non-caloric sweetener in his hummingbird feeder. I cannot describe how awful that is. Yet, we are not allowed to kill students.

 

ruby-throated hummers would not be expected in Orygun. Here's your buffet:

Rubies do an absurd 800 km overwater migration north from Yucatan.
