Consumer grade adjustable torque wrenches are notoriously finnicky and inaccurate. For this reason, I only use beam type torque wrenches.

At work we use expensive lab-grade digital ones or non user asjuatable break-overs. All are annually calibrated and cost several hundred each. I can't afford that noise at home.

 

Well, look at the bright side...

 

Yeah Ive never been able to trust them and torque by feel, which in this case apparently was not tight enough. I picked up ss nuts from ace today to put over the oem nuts. Enough with this $hit.......thanks for adding to this thread.....until next time.

 

Double nut sounds good to me.
I've had those buggers vibrate off on me too!

Anyone know the size?

Yup easy peasy....lets ride.
