What are they, 1/4-28?

Are you sure that he didn't put the fasteners in at the recommended torque, but with locktite, or similar? I could see that requiring an immense amount of torque, to break them loose...maybe that's what HRE experienced?

No, they saw no locktight on the threads. Some of the fasteners were a bit deformed and it took 80 ft-lbs to break them free. So maybe they were tightened down to only 60.. either way they were WAY over 12 ft-lbs.. lol
