For the first time I attempted to rotate the tires on my 2007 Tacoma
4x4. ( 7400 miles ).I know what EVERYONE will think, but I swear I am not the "other nut at the end of the wrench".
I have done this for over 30 years and use a torque wrench ane have never had an issue on any vehicle. This was the third of my vehicles I did today, the others having no issues ( and causing me not to doubt the torque wrench).
The pass rear wheel was glued to the brake drum. A slight rap on the back and they came off ( dealer recommended this when called just to be sure there was nothing I missed ). Thats bad enough.
When I retorqued the nuts, using a torque wrench, in steps of 40,60, to 85 ft-lb, the final torque, one stud twisted off just as pretty as can be.
Anybody else had an issue? I am concerned that the studs may have a metallurgical issue. :?
