[QUOTE="whyzee, post: 251987, member: 27186"] Sorry if I came across the wrong way. I’m not claiming to be anything close to perfect, what is up with that? A mechanic would know what heat stress on a stud that has been subjected to dirt-penetration, oxidation and rust will do. Heck, all it takes is a spec of dust to lodge a bolt with a close tolerance. I have heard of bolt and stud fractures in both installation and extraction so it is an over torque problem. You can over stress the stud on removal, THAT is over stress as well, if it breaks. Lastly, bolts, studs, nuts, and other fasteners have a period of useful life. If the conditions are severe, then their length of service is greatly reduced. I can’t imagine applying so much torque to a stud that you would rip out the threads unless the thing was cross-threaded and had weakened the case threads [/QUOTE]
