A torque wrench is a great idea. But last time I had to change a tire, I found that the yahoo with the air wrench at the tire shop had put the nuts on so tightly that I had trouble getting them off. By using a big solid cross wrench and having my wife stand on one arm while I lifted the opposite one, we managed to break them loose. Otherwise we would have been stuck. Unless your torque wrench has a long handle, or a breaker-bar extension (and it sounds like Steve's is really husky), you might consider carrying a cross wrench tucked away somewhere, just in case.
And I can confiorm Steve's statement that 13/16 inch is the proper size.
