Mine takes a 3/4" socket. You'll need to get a deep socket or extend it to get out far enough for the wrench handle.

Here's the torque specs from my owners manual, does anyone know what size wrench is used for lug nuts?

Thanks Marwayne, I have owned a Forest River product for eight years or more --- both trailers had the same notice you kindly sent me. The problem was that I thought a "lug" wrench was a "torque" wrench. Showed my ignorance obviously. thanks John

I have been using a lug nut wrench to check the lug nuts. A friend told me recently that a torque wrench was better ... less chance of breaking the lugs. If that is true, what torque force should be used?
Thanks
John
