Re: Stripped threads on balljoint pinch bolt - help!
I've found that its pretty much impossible to over torque axle nuts. 200 ft lbs is 200 lbs, placed 1 ft from the centre of the nut, so just grab a 1.5 ft pipe and stand on the end, voila. I know my mechanic buddy just hammers his impact on there til it stops moving. Just remember, its a good chance that you're the next one who will be taking it off 

Now with Moderator power!
