Bolt torque question
Hi all, got a question I could use some input on. Replaced the right-front
hub assy. on my 91 due to excecive play. While Torqueing the first 2 bolts
(specs. call for 47ft. pounds of torque) checked my settings cuz something didn't seem right, no click. Was actually set 70
. Backed them off and re torqed to the correct setting. Did I do any damage to the
bolts?? This is really bugging me, what you'all say.

Looks like I'll be heading to the chevy dealer to pick up some new bolts.
It'll at least give me peace of mind. Thanks for the replys.

I wouldn't worry about it. With a straight torque value these aren't the "torque to yield", therefore stretch is not a big problem. If you're worried then re-check the torque after a week.
I've been changing these frequently and have been using German spec (goot 'n tight). Wasn't aware of the torque value. Will adopt. Haven't had any problems, and again I'm servicing these a couple times a season.
Best,
