My 4/4 has wire wheels with the hexagon nut, no ears. I have a large socket and use a torque wrench to tighten them. I have used only 80ftlbs and marked the nuts relative to the spokes. The nuts have never moved so I see no reason to use very high torque values and massive breaker bars.

How do you open the boot?
