Default Rotated tires today

I've heard that a gorilla put the oil filter on . He also put the wheel's on . The lug nut's were really tight. Took a long strong arm to break them loose. I have two alloy floor jack's I use. But I had to cut some wood blocks to fit in the notch on the rocker panel. The pads on the jacks put too much pressure on the plastic rocker panel cover. I was afraid they might crack. Will get some strong steel boxed tube that will fit the notch and cut a channel to fit the lift point . I was lucky I decided to rotate my tire's . Had a piece of metal in one of the rear tire's . Wasn't in deep enough to leak . So I pulled it out in time. For some reason the car drove better after the rotation. It takes a 21 mm 6 point socket for the lug's .

I believe they are only supposed to be torqued to 100 ft/lbs

My electric impact took my lugs off without a struggle. 100 lb/ft sounds about right.
I won't need to changle the oil until summer/fall. Hopefully that goes as smooth
