Regarding the tire shops. If the nut is rusted on I can imagine it taking a huge amount of force to get it free. I would use Kroil to break up the rust then whatever tools at hand to break it free.

From what I am reading using a torque multiplier applies linear torque and you can get a calibrated torqued value for any nut you put on with it. It's functionally equivalent of using an extension to get enough torque. To make this work correctly you need the torque table for the gear ratio of...

I contacted the manufacturer of the "cheater wrench". I turns out they make a torque wrench adapter and have published torque charts. To do our lugs (at 500 ft lbs) it would only be 28 ft lbs. http://www.cheaterwrench.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/torque-chart.png

follow up. If I use a torque multiplier to take off the lug nuts. Can I use that same multiplier to put them back on but use a small lower range torque wrench to drive the multiplier? I don't own a 100-600 ft lb torque wrench yet.

Sorry to post onto such an old thread. After you do get the lugs off using whatever method. Do you then use the same tool to tighten them back on or are you using a very large torque wrench?
