Watching this, my buddy (a Blackhawk crewchief/mechanic) & I exchanged the look, and he asks "So what's the torque-spec on that nut, anyway?". Mr. Gorilla-arm replies: "I dunno, I just get it as tight as I can 'cause you don't want that shit coming loose!".

I knew a guy like that! His spacers were actually "mushroomed" a little!
