60 ft/lb?

maybe it seems like 60 ft lbs because they could have been rusted up or someting and it took 60 lbs to get them to break loose?

The torque settings I've seen are 35-55. I set mine at 45 foot-pounds.

That might be true. Mine were on tight when I first took them off and afterwards, 35 ft/lb didn't seem so much. But torquing them back up to 60 ft/lb is
