    Does anyone have a good source for a center lug wrench for an early TR? Does not have to be original, just usable.

    Finding a reasonably priced 3/4 inch torque wrench is the hard part. I sold mine here on Ferrari Chat several years ago.

    Find the length of breaker bar needed to use your weight standing on the bar. Then give it an extra bounce. Make sure the cone is clean and wheel is completely seated with weight off the tire.

    I got my 3/4" drive torque wrench on Amazon for under 200 shipped. I use it on the RV which takes 350 ft lbs and the TR which takes 325 if I recall. Both are do-able and easy enough. The Hill Engineering socket is a must.....I wrap my lug nuts in painters tape before I use it just to keep scratching down to a minimum.

    I did get one that was stuck, so I bought a cheap 3/4 air impact. That blasted it loose in just a few seconds. Again, under 200 as it is an occasional use tool. I'm far from cheap on my tools, these are just not ones I will use enough to justify super accurate or quality stuff.

    To loosen Stuck ones! Get a long pipe on the end of breaker bar, have someone hold the brakes on. Jump on the end of the pipe!
