My TPMS were loose and leaking so I did a search on 1 addicts and came up with a post from Dackelone which said 15 NM. I set my torque wrench and start tighten but the seat of my pants torque wrench told me I was making it to tight so I did not tighten them to 15Nm.

Let this be a lesson learned! Don’t trust anything you read on the internet unless you can verify it from at least one other source. And to Dackelone: Please Please check your numbers prior to your post. And I personally think you should be responsible and pay for the guys TPMS that read your post and damaged them. I wonder how many others damaged their TPMS based on his torque settings.
