I've got 3 axles and have never lost a wheel stud. Perhaps people are using too much torque.

But if the torque wrench clicks and the nut doesn't move, that doesn't mean the nut is at proper torque. A bolt/nut needs to be moving to get the torque correct. If the wrench clicks when the nut is stationary, you're looking at static friction, not necessarily proper torque setting. The bolt/nut has to be moving when the wrench clicks.

Stopping and checking is not the way to do it.Lynnmor wrote:Problem is most folks don't know how to properly use a torque wrench and will move it a bit.Bird Freak wrote:
I was a Snap-on tool dealer for about 4 years. If you keep checking them without backing them off first you stretch the bolt a little each time.
Quite the opposite, if the bolt is checked and it didn't move, it can't stretch. If it did move, then you are just doing a proper torque.
