Breakaway torque is the rotating force required to break the head loose, going in the same direction as applied-tightening. This will usually give a value HIGHER than the original tightening torque because dynamic (when the bolt was tightened) is lower than static (when you try to break loose the bolt head). This is how it is defined by torque testing standards. If the breakaway is measured in reverse (loosening), you will usually get even higher readings because the bolt head generally digs in and forms small burrs and indents THAT ARE DIRECTIONAL-like a ratchet. It is incorrect to check breakaway by loosening.
Does socket extension on torque wrench change torque? I always torque my lug nuts to 100 ft. lbs. using a 1/2 drive click-stop torque wrench. I use a 1/2 drive 3/4 size deep impact socket on the torque wrench. My TJ has the Gambler wheels. I think because they are 15x8 instead of 15x7 like the stock steel ones, the lug nuts are set farther in compared to the tire.
