I have one but am far away.

Found one on RonAyers for $47.46 less overnight expenses. But if you want to come to Colorado I could show you a good time!

Sadly work prevents it.

How in the helk did you do that.

How in the helk did you do that.

Torquing it down to 47 ft/lbs. The right side torqued up just fine.

I thought you were supposed to undo both sides at the same time before attempting to move the bolt to a new position, otherwise it won't budge. Dunno, just what I heard.

I did remove both sides...this happened when I was putting it back together.

Looks like I will be with out a ride for a week or so :angry:

Defective torque wrench? Or part?

Defective torque wrench? Or part?

I'm going to say the part. I re-checked the right side and it was fine. I also checked the wrench at 47 ft/lbs on my Truck bumper bolts (which are much tighter) and the wrench broke just fine. I will take the wrench to work and have the calibration checked.

+1 -his overnight shipping is cheap. Call him early enough in the day and he can usually get it out by 3pm (if he has it in stock.) He might have to order this tho...

Weld it.

 

[oscar.45]

After talking with the metallurgist here at work and looking at the stud under a microscope we feel that is weld failure.

Our welder agrees that it could be re-welded but it will not be as safe or as strong as it should be.

I am going to pick up a grade 8 bolt today and install it in the studs place. I have a Heli triple clamp on order and it will be here next week. I was planning on ordering the Heli later this fall but oh-well.
