Probably the lock tite and not the hand doing that. Never used lock tite, never had one come loose that I installed either.


You mean to tell me you can’t ‘feel’ the right torque after pulling wrenches that long?


Not a matter of feeling it, it's a matter of knowing it without a doubt. I don't care to do a job more than once.

Knowing when to use a torque wrench is the key, I don’t need to use one putting on fender bolts.
