Default Re: Need axle nuts tightened, 220ft/lbs

60 extra ft lbs on a 220 ft lb base setting seems a little extreme, thats almost 25% higher than base. I wouldn't feel comfortable with that on a critical fastener; you might as well just tighten it by hand and not bother with a torque wrench if you're going to completely disregard the factory spec by that high of a margin...
