In 2009, the lug nut torque for a Chevy Impala was set at 155 foot-pounds. When dealing with lug nuts on a car, it's crucial to handle them carefully to prevent damage. Over-tightening them can lead to them breaking or getting stripped, especially if they're old or rusty. If the lug nuts get stripped, they'll just spin in place and become impossible to loosen. In such cases, using a mechanical press to remove them may cause damage to the wheel. If a lug nut snaps, it will require removing the rotor on the wheel and unthreading it from the back. However, both of these scenarios can be easily prevented by exercising caution.
