    I would add that following the star-pattern TWICE to tighten , while the wheel is up, does help ensure that all the nuts are as tight as can be.

    But I follow this procedure and also have found (with torque wrench) it to get close to required torque.

    Only on PC will you find the mystery of how tight to make wheel lugs and my favorite the magical and mystifying 12 volt battery.
