We may joust all the time but I wouldn't lie to ya. As I said, some pros use an impact which is at least 150lbft. 130 has been fine for 12 seasons for me.
I believe you; I just wonder if that's right though for that particular application -- Chevrolets don't have that big of a bolt up there. Maybe Keith, Barry, & Brent will tell me what they do. My torque wrench only goes up to 100 ft/lbs. I bet my arm doesn't go up a whole lot higher than that either.
