I did the wheel swap and tightening with a "Cross" wrench myself - so no mistake in leaving them loose. But, I don't like having to rubber hammer the lug wrench after the shops use the impact wrench. 
Is this a problem with any other Cruisers out there?

Go to Pep Boys Or ebay and get yourself a $20.00 click type torque wrench, these studs will pop off with to much torque and you never know how tight you really tighten them with a "Cross Wrench" as they should be tightened to 95 to 105 ft lbs, (100 ft-pounds is ideal), and it will take a 24 to 36" breaker bar and socket to get them off. and you also won't warp the rotors by having some lugs tighter than the others.
