Sure felt like 4,445 ft-lbs coming off!

I never unscrew the nuts, I split them w a nut cracker then chase the threads w a "thread chasing" die, not a regular die. road debris deforms the threads & they rarely come off easy but w the above new nuts will spin on by hand. Yes 45 sounds low but that's what the FSM lists



Yeah ...I would agree ...some of the road-debris in NE can-be a real maggot-farmer !

RR ... I just buzzed off a set of U's by-hand from a motorhome Dana 70.... JUST GET a big breaker-bar !!
