Guess Whats Not in the Smart OM?

Just read 310 pages of the Operators Manual, twice, looking for the socket size of the wheel lugs. I think I know just about everything else though...

I suggest a metric socket set and trial and error ...

OK 1st It's actually 15mm.

Because regardless of size, You should only use '6point (hex)' sockets,
A5/8" hex socket will work fine.

If you go out and purchase a socket, purchase a 1/2" drive, 15mm hex socket.

And don't forget the torque wrench... once had a shop improperly torque lug nuts and just about lost the wheel.

thanks, M.S. I took them off, way too easy. Can't believe that was 81 ft/lb or torque. I will definately be torqueing them back on...

My wife was once stranded on a mountain road at night with a flat tire. The lug nuts were too tight to remove. Sometimes too much torque can be dangerous too, always use a torque wrench.
