Message	I went to sears to do a free rotation and balance on my Titan. When I got home I went to check the torque and these nuts were on so tight I could figure out how tight they were on the T-wrench. My guess, it had to be over 300 ft lbs. I really had to stand on my 2' cheater pipe and jump on it to get those bastards loose. **SELLING: 2.5" test pipes, Greddy EVO II catback, HKS intercoolers **SELLING: Stock >> driveshaft, 6 stock TT injectors with rail, new style brand new rail, intercoolers, intercooler/intake piping.
