I transfer several of these a month, different brands of vehicles- when disassembling, pay close attention to the ''breakapart'' effort required to loosen. Duplicate this amount of torque when reassembling, works every time...

After a while you do get the feel for certain torque ratings, but never as accurate as a maintained and dialed in TW
