Questions Galore...

So the main hub nut has a torque rating of 181 ft lbs...Does that require an air compressor that can put out 181 PSI? Cause I can't find one.

torque wrenches can be adjusted so that when torquing something down, when you hit the desired torque number, it will click letting you know you've hit the right spot. there are also digital wrenches that have a display showing the number.
