I towed for 2.5 years and over 10,000 miles with my EQ. I never torqued the head bolts. Just used a 1/2" breaker bar and a 3' piece of pipe. I made numerous changes when setting up and could change out the washer in 10 mins. Never had any bolts loosen up.
I will vouch for the noise though. I remember when I 1st got it. I was pulling thru a CG and while making some turns it was shrieking like crazy. 4-5 sites ahead of us people were turning their heads to see what the noise was. Couldn't park fast enough. If I were to get back into a TT again I would get something different. Between the noise and the grease it was a PITA. There's fixes for both but why not get something that works as well and is greaseless and quiet.
What I found with my EQ is the socket bolts would tend to loosen up a bit when new as they were breaking in. I've torqued them maybe 4 times in 2 years and they don't get loose much any more. The sockets ride on a wear surface and will loosen over time simply due to wear so they need to be checked from time to time.
