um, sorry but I are an Engineer. I even have my own choo-choo train and thanks for the warning. Now that you've shown us how big your giggle stick is, I'm a degreed EE so even though this type of ME application may be a bit foreign to me, I'm still calling BS on your theory and whether or not it applies here. Short strokes with a lead hammer holding the handle close to the head as depicted in Dennis' video, will NOT produce the kind of force needed to achieve 350ft/lbs. of torque with the thread pitch we're assuming is common on hubs. Tell me I'm wrong. It defies logic.

Normal people believe that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.
