I noticed that the responses to Mark Creamer's stripped stud in his trailing
arm didn't mention the fact that the recommended torque on these studs is
miniscule compared to what we are used to elsewhere. I don't have my torque
spec book handy but recommend you look at it before you crank the nuts on the
refurbished stud. I too have had to resort to helicoils in this area.
