my thoughts exactly...
side note: i was rushing the other night when changing my hub out and cross threaded the top one ever so slightly... sucks but oh well. a 5/16-18 is super close, but what's the actual size? i know it's metric... 8x1?

what did I win?
I've never actually used a torque wrench to tighten them up. plus I don't tighten them up anywhere near what it takes when I have to loosen them! never had a problem yet!

I don't torque them either. C'mon, only homos torque their caliper bolts to spec. :lecture: :doh: :wave: J/K, LOL. But seriously, I worked in a shop for 2 years and never torqued or looked up a torque spec for a caliper bolt. Guess what? Never had one fall out either. I realize that is what you are technically "supposed" to do, but that spec is more just to keep some newb from cranking them down with a 1/2" drive ratchet with an 18" handle and pulling the threads. I did get in the habit of torquing wheel bolts after warping a brake rotor (no kidding).
So if you "nominate" me or 300$XJ, I have to ask, is it a nomination for best use of time, or least wasted time????
