I'm not a mechanic by trade but I have turned plenty of wrenches and I know the feel you are refering to. I planned on using a torque wrench because I got hung up on doing it "right" Every thing you guys have said makes perfect sense to me. I had thought about the liability issue as a reason they call for a torque wrench. At least now if it flys of my truck I can sue you guys... Big Smile
