HI LIST!,

How are yall. I just broke a bolt off the CV joint while trying to
tighten it according to Bentley (and Haynes) it's 45Nm. The broken
off bolt's threads were wide, boy let me tell you. I reused my bolts
after I cleaned them. Bad idea I guess. Not the first time I have to
do the same job 2x. Do the bolts lose their tensile strength after 1
use?? I don't remember the bolts being on there this tough when I
took them off. Anybody have experience with less tension on these
puppies?
