Never again...my other mechanic never overtorqued things this much.

torque wrench

I love those. They give the feel of having it done right.

Got three, each a different range but they overlap.

    I just got one EXACTLY to not overtorque things...guess I should have made sure that this mechanic I went to had one before I got one lol...

    forgotten somewhere behind a pile of beer, probably set to the max torque so the spring is destroyed anyway
