Need to whack them off 200 1985Ti

Paul!

I always tighten my nuts by hand, sorta medium tight. That´s the way I know I can get them off. Idea is also that if I need to take off a wheel out of home, I should know how to tighten them up with right torque, since the Murphy´s law tells me that I won´t have my torque wrench with me.

I have noticed that despite this I often need to use quite a lot of force to get them wheel bolts off again. I suspect they somehow tighten themselves up a bit, or that it is due to temperature differences between mounting and taking off days. I keep em lubricated with small amounts of supposedly temperature-resistant goo. Maybe there is something with the different temperature coefficients of the alloy rims VS the steel bolts, nuts and rotors?
