Bill,
Good point about not using impact wrenches for assembly. A few year
back, I was at a tire/wheel shop getting some new tires. Saw a tech
(term used loosely) tightening wheel nuts with his air wrench set to
"kill". The nut cleaned off every bit of the threads on the stud,
leaving nothing but a shiny post exiting the disc rotor. I made sure
that mine were hand-tightened!
