Hi Guys,
I think I've been sniffing grease too long. Trying to torque the CV bolts to the stub axle. I have the axle assembly nice and tight in a vise (tried with a towel and without), but I can't keep it from turning before 31lbs is reached. Any tips/tricks from someone thinking more clearly? Thanks |

Even for the stub axle side? Those bolts are pretty deep inside the trailing arm. Doesn't an extension have an effect on the actual torque at the bolt?
