So I probably should have learned this long since, but what's the correct method for re-torquing lug nuts? When I pulled my summer tires off I noticed a couple seemed loose, so decided to follow the recommendation to put the winter tires on, torque them, then drive a day or two and re-torque them. Do you loosen the nut first to get an accurate reading when you re-tighten, or just leave them tight and torque again? Do lug nuts ever spontaneously tighten and require loosening? (seems like it could happen, sometimes it seems to take gorilla strength to get them off)
Thanks!
