: Torque for C-5500 wheels?

I have been told that the required torque is "around" 450#. Can anyone
provide the required torque for a Kodiak C-5500 lug nut? (19.5" wheels)

Also any information on a "knocker" or "swing and bang" type lug wrench?
I use a 2' long 3/4" breaker bar with a 4' long pipe.
Is there a electric impact wrench that could remove the lug nuts. Thanks in advance for any and all information.

I never want to be stranded if I can help it.

On the 8 lug, the wheel nut torque is 405 lb/ft., on the 10 lug (C6500 & up) it is 475 lb/ft.

I'm not sure an electric impact can generate that kind of torque to loosen them, but maybe someone else on here knows of one.
