I don't know if I have a torque wrench that goes up this high. And yeah, might need to toss a breaker bar in the truck. yikes!
Not sure how many miles u have on it but Ford Roadside Assistance is free for 3 years/36,000 miles whichever comes first. I have used it to change a flat in my driveway…. Super satisfied with the service.

How the heck did I not remember this?!
Some of my torque wrenches are 50 years old and the others are cheap from Harbor Freight. I need to calibrate them this spring. Sometimes my up and coming mechanics don’t back them out to zero before putting them back in the tool box and the internal spring will stretch during storage making them inaccurate.
Torque spec is 148 ft lbs, so tech did it correctly.....AAA is your friend here, had them for years....
I will definitely invest in a lug wrench and a breaker bar.At 70+ I'm not ready for AAA yet but I'm not far from it.
I'm fan of my well used four-way lug wrench and homemade breaker bar. I keep behind the rear seat.
When I took possession of my Maverick and reading the post about how tight the lug nuts were I decided to be proactive, while I was still a few years younger.
I loosened and re-tightened all of the lug nuts.
I wanted to be sure, in an emergency I could remove them.
Maybe one of these days I'll buy me a torque wrench.
I've never had a problem using a four-way lug wrench.
If it gets stuck, you can wiggle it with both hands in order to release it.
And if you don't have a breaker bar, you can use both sides of the 4way lug wrench by pulling and pushing. If you are careful and can get it in the correct position, you can use your foot while you're pulling.
It stores nicely behind the seat.

*30 1/2 years here dealing with inmates for me....thankfully, I am now retired. Are you still on the job "rookie"?
Nope, I retired at 62. Newly widowed, Covid, 500 inmates wanting to "help me in my time of grief" and a crooked warden were too much. It's bittersweet that I could retire early only because my husband's retirement funds were quite healthy.Torque spec is 148 ft lbs, so tech did it correctly.....AAA is your friend here, had them for years....

Sorry for your loss - enjoy your retirement for a good long time. If there is one constant in an ever changing world, it is inmates wanting to "help" a person.....seen a few staff (too many) that get caught up in it only to get walked out the door in cuffs over crossing that line. I retired as a Lieutenant that was performing in an "acting Captain" title since if I had taken "full Captain" it would have crossed into management/confidential and made me ineligible for overtime.
That's what she said.
Any breaker bar and torque wrench will do. Maybe AAA has an emergency kit with them, or Harbor Freight or most automotive stores.
Wassa tweel ?
