That is how that works. The 99 ft/lbs came from the JL site’s “official” torque specs.
yea! Im figuring this crud out! ( small victories )

So an additional 170' of turn could result in more that 99ft lbs of torque? I didnt realize that the torque could increase that rapidly with just shy of a half turn of the bolt.
