this is why myself and my father carry larger t/star lug wrenches in the trunks of our volvos, and I will continue to do so when I move from my 850 to (hopefully soon) an s60, I'll probably get a torque wrench to leave in the car too so that I don't worry about that either... but both of us have run into the overtightening dealers and service stations and the larger wrenches allowed us to change tires that would not have budged otherwise (the cost of the wrenches was easily offset when a tire change was doable instead of calling AAA, thus saving an hour, and as they say, time is money!).

the real reasoning for the overtightening... to get you in for an expensive brake service where you need to replace your now warped rotors!!!


now if only volvo could give us a better jack!
