The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
Trailer lug torque is dependent on the size of the stud or listed from the manufacture.. Most boat trailers you will find have 1/2" studs/ stud nuts and are 100 ft/lbs.. Torque the lug nuts in a star pattern
My vehicles have always speced 90 ft/lb. My Ranger is 100 ft/lb. Per above I buzz them up with my impact set on low torque, then finish with my click wrench. (yea, anal me) My aluminum wheels tended to freeze onto the hubs. So now I coat the hubs and wheel bores with a light coat of Never Seeze or other anti-seize compound.

use this stuff... This is what we seal the tire beads with at the shop, apply to the wheel mounting face after it has been wire wheeled clean, apply to stubborn lugnuts, install valve stems with it.... But it's worth it as an anti corrosive for the wheel mating surfaces alone.
