I realized after I placed my order that I needed a socket to remove the lug bolts. This turned out to be a 17mm Gorilla brand socket that Eddie mailed to me no charge. The torque wrench is only for the last part of the install - the final tightening of the lug bolts to 90 ft/lbs. I used the wrench provided in the Audi tool kit to remove the lug bolts. The job took me about 2 hours to complete - although I took my time and am no pro by anyone's measure! I used "anti-seize compound" (purchased at local hardware store) on the actual hub (the part that touches the center part wheel). The hubs did have a small amount of rust and yuk on them as you can see in the pictures. I quickly removed that with some fine grade sandpaper; then brushed on the anti-seize compound before installing the new wheel.

The car had 10,400 miles on the original equipment Pirelli P6000 225/45R-17 tires when I changed out to the winter tires. I have been very happy so far with the Dunlop tires.
