Dumb question...but search did not find the answer...
Got H&R spacers (30mm) to run NB 18x10 wheels in back for my 265 width snow tires. They have been amazingly good.
Went today in the beautiful 70 degree F weather to put summer wheels back on (dealer did the spacers) and I cannot budge the spacer bolts. I believe they are 17mm...I am off to the parts shop to get an adapter for my torque wrench...but with the spare tire piece of junk (I lacked a 17mm hex)...I move the rotor on the parking brake setting....
How much torque are we dealing with?
Do I need to invest in an air-shop type set up. More tools are always welcome..

I bought an air gun and unless you have some serious air capacity its not that strong? Get a long breaker bar, or put a pipe on your wrench to extend it. Also torque wrench could maybe be damaged by excessive torque?
