^ I would do that if I had a vehicle...

^^I didn't know if hand tight would be greater than or equal to 34ft. lbs. nm. I'll give it hell, and then goto an auto store and get one. thanks t-dub. I'm not weak by any means, but I don't know how much force 34 ft-lbs by hand really is.

Tight is tight, too tight is broken.

34 ft lbs isn't that much... Don't give it hell, just tighten it.

Everything's cool. Problem fixed (tighened pretty good, but not all the way where I couldn't turn it anymore.) ^^ Thanks for the offer I'm going to pick up my torque wrench later.

damn, you've got a lot more bolts to turn if you need a torque wrench for 34ftlbs.

terk wrenches are good for internals and wheels (if you arent lazy)
