Like I said in an earlier post I think that those bolts are supposed to torque at 225#'s. After applying locktite I torqued them with my torque wrench to 180#'s and then used a 1/2" breaker bar with a pipe on it and turned the bolts another 1/8 turn.
225!!! That is crazy for something like this....what could the reason be to have it that high. I have a 1 ton truck chassis 15 passenger van with some pretty big brakes and they have not ever gotten that tight. Oh well I will see if they come off....I certainly will feel if those bolts start to loosen up as it would shake the hell out of the front end. I have a local RV repair place and might just ask them what they think....just curious now. Do you have the place where you found that spec?
