+rep for the diy

I ran into two problems:

1. The toe arm was in the way to reach the bottom 19mm caliper bolt, but that was an easy solution. By using the jack, I got the arm to lift up, out of the way for the socket to fit.

2. I was tightening the wheel locks before using the torque wrench and both are effed! One is stripped and spinning freely and the other, the top of the nut just twisted off. WTF?! Nothing happened to the regular lugs. Nissan has some dinky wheel locks.
