I have a Sienna 2004. I'm fed up with garages screwing up a simple job like changing my winter wheels for my summer wheels. Last garage lost one of the locking nuts.
So I'm now looking at doing this myself from now on and maybe saving myself about $30 each time. So I need a decent jack. But I don't have an air compressor nor a pneumatic wrench to remove and put on the nuts. I could use old fashioned elbow grease, but I'm looking for a quick and easy way to do this. So I thought of the air wrench, but it's expensive if you don't already have the compressor.
I have seen a 14 volt electric (Battery) impact wrench that puts out
1050 lb-in, or about 87 ft-lbs. There is NO torque adjustment on this wrench, only speed adjustment.3 questions:
1) What is the recommended torque setting for Sienna wheels (I have the alloy in summer, steel in winter)? I have asked a few Toyota garages, and the numbers range from 60 to 80 ft-lbs, with one saying 87 is way too much and another saying 87 would be OK.2) if 87 is OK, can I rely on an electric battery powered wrench to deliver consistent torque for this type of application?
3) Is there another solution to this?Thanks.
