I'll try "Whats a torque spec?" for $500 Alex
I discovered with much annoyance that torque spec can break old bolts, and old is a relative statement, the truck was from the 90s.
Had a 10mm deep socket the other day with a 1/4" socket size. Couldn't find a 3/8", so I found an old adapter and when loosening the 5th bolt on my intake manifold, got the old "hmm... that shit is moving to free to fast"
Thankfully a small screwdriver could poke the 1/4" adapter piece stuck in the socket out, so I can live to make the same mistake another day.
And the answer is something easily ignored but vastly important.
Two ugga-duggas is close enough to spec, it'll be fine.
100 inch pounds is as hard as I can right?
Ahh yes, the great inch versus foot pound conundrum
Where do y'all find this elusive "Torque Spec"?
Even if I could afford a $100 click wrench. Where am I gonna lookup random bolt on whatever the hell I'm repairing?
Usually depends on the size of the screw
