You should replace the nuts this time. Get the shop to use their air-tools to bust those things loose. I broke 2 "breaker-bars" trying to get mine loose last time.

Re-torqueing to 220 ft/lbs is no fun either.

i actually did replace them with brand new ones last time, i get the feeling they may not have torqued them correctly or something, i told them 220lbs but who knows. ive already got more new nuts...
