Highpockets
Stripped locator pin while torquing to 16 ft-lbs. Wrench never broke at torque setting before it stripped. Any suggestions now?

When I was a teenager, a friend's dad nicknamed me Highpockets because of my long legs.

Ya gotta love folks that post a question that makes absofrigginlutely no sense.
But, I do have to say, my locator pin will take a lot more torque than that before stripping.
