Like the topic says, car is making funny noises and want to try and re torque the wheel nut to see if it helps before tackling bearings/etc. I can get the socket, but no one has better then a 1/2 drive 24" breaker bar, and Billman suggests 3/4 36" to get enough leverage for retorque.

Thanks!

 

Nevermind, fixed it.

 

In case it happens again I have the tools needed to fix.

 

Thanks man, I was able to take them off with a 1/2" drive socket wrench.

Put them back on with a 1/2" breaker and 3' cheater pipe (handle of my jack), not the best tools for the job but got me the 60 degrees past stock that Billman suggests.

As a note to everyone else, I would suggest checking yours and possibly re-doing even if you had retorqued them to the updated specs. If you read the DIY, it mentions that unstaking the nut is "optional" as people have found you can move the nut without. This leads me to think that over time, with enough spirited driving the nuts could move on their own.

The sound is pretty much gone for now for me, though I am sure a bearing replacement is in my near future.
