k, my question to someone with a mechanical background.
im reinstalling my driveshaft and the torque spec from the factory service manual says 60-80. 1st things first, taking them out was no problem(driveshaft bolts), but now putting them back in looks like it s going to be a problem. a 13mm flex works good for tighting it up with but when it comes time to get the torque wrench to click it slips on the bolt, bolt having a different design than normal. im not going to drive it until i figure out what to do, reason being that if the driveshaft is not properly torqued, i think i might cause a problem at high speeds. what do u guys think?
