It was no problem for an old man and a 3 foot breaker bar. It's farmer tight.

Couple uggaduggahs with the M18 fuel impact, same way I got it offSo how’d you get it torqued back to 350 ft lb?
Likely to get clamping force. The larger the thread, the higher the torque needed to attain the same force. FWIW, I retorqued mine to 250 ft-lb. Hasn't moved in a few weeks. Thought about borrowing a wrench from work as we have a few that go over 1000 but then I'd need to find a 3/4" drive socket...Why the fuck would that be torqued to 350ft/lbs??
Jeezus...
Ahhh, the "Jesus Nut".350 pound feet of torque. FWIW, Jesus nut, that holds the rotor blades on a Cobra or Huey helicopter is 710 pound feet.
Triple tap the impact!Glad I read through this thread before installing my DV8 rear shock skids. One of the reviews suggested lifting the body with a jack to release some tension from the shock to the bottom mount. Not sure if this holds any merit. Regardless I will be prepared with a breaker bar and a good impact driver. Torquing it back to 325-350 ft-lb is another story.
Nut is staked. I used a 3/4 breaker with a 1 1/16 socket and 4 foot cheater with the weight off of it. Told my son to use the same amount of oomph to retorqueGotta ask, are y'all trying to remove the bolt from the head end or simply removing the nut first. If the bolt is in contact with compressed rubber shock mount you would have trouble even with the nut removed. Orif through a metal bushing that can also cause problems. Or is the nut staked to a slot in the bolt as are axle shafts?
I don't plan on removing that particular bolt myself but have in the past on the LR3 I had and in fact jacking up vehicle and relieving pressure on the bolt always helped.
I have never completely broken a 3/4" breaker bar with a 4' pipe but 1/2" with 3 all the time.
A donkey, some rope, and a geared multiplier contraption from an old Da Vinci plan. Azzeccato!So how’d you get it torqued back to 350 ft lb?
AeroKroil ftwPretty sure mine came from Ice Mountain (has salt/grit on the underside), 4ft cheater pipe had no effect. I am a pretty big guy too... Currently soaking with PB Blaster.
Only takes a couple of double taps with an impact to go fully overboard.
I had to loosen mine for the same reason. I used a 1/2" ratchet with a 3ft cheater and it worked well. Used the cheater to reinstall too, close enough to torqued for me.Glad I read through this thread before installing my DV8 rear shock skids.
