Honda suggests tightening each lug nut on your Element to 80 foot pounds for secure seating and to prevent them from coming loose while driving. Using an impact driver during wheel removal speeds up the process, but it's important not to use it when reinstalling the lug nuts. Instead, a calibrated torque wrench should be used to ensure that the lugs are tightened correctly and to avoid stripping them.
