JeremyC - thanks for that last bit of info. I didn't know that PSI wasn't equal to torque. I guess I should've figured that out myself with how intuitive I usually am. So I looked this up just now and found the formula:

Torque, Moment

foot-pound torque, newton-meter

* 1 ft lb = 1.356 Nm

So using those calculations I would think using setting #3 on the impact wrench would result in about 91lbs of torque. The manual says we need 87 - 101lbs torque for the lugs, so I'll try setting #3 and if there are stubborn ones then #4 would probably work, but 122 lbs (setting #4) is a bit more than I'd care to use for fear of stripping my rusty studs.

THE MASTER CYLINDER IS OFF. REBUILDING IT NOW WITH A REBUILD KIT.

SUGGEST CORRECTION TO THE SERVICE MANUAL FOR REMOVING THE MASTER CYLINDER. The manual has you removing the wire clip for the brake level sensor before you remove the cylinder. I do not recommend this as the clip is almost impossible to remove in that setup. Remove the cylinder mounting bolts (step 4 in the manual) first before unclipping the sensor (step 3 in the manual I believe). The sensor clip is a 3 part clip it seems and the part that goes to the ECU has two plastic clip parts together which removes from the 1 plastic clip part closest to the cylinder. This is much easier to pry apart when you have access to all sides of the clip once the clyinder is off and you have a little more room. You'll have to use a flat head screwdriver on the cylinder side of the clip to lift the locking piece of plastic over the half-arrow-triangle shaped piece of plastic to pull it out of the locking piece. Then it just comes out beautifully whereas before I almost chopped the wires because it was infuriating me.
