150 ft lbs for pre-tourqe, then slowy work your way to 1,000,000 ft lbs in .5 degree increments.:lol:

Tight enough that it takes the "Jaws of Life" to remove it, then you need to go one more 1/4 turn.

When it starts to buckle the roof, back it off a hair.

Hand-Tighten, tip a brown one, then use vice grips to tighten until it strips the threads out of it, tip another brown one, then back it off a quarter turn. Use a degree-wheel to ensure it is exactly a quarter turn. Sit down and tip another brown one to celebrate yet another successful maintenance item completed. Take a picture of it and post a report, complete with pictures, of your exploits right here.
