Tow Hook Question
Hi:
I am trying to add factory tow hooks to my ‘78 K25. I have new Grade 8 hardware-my question is what do I torque them too? I have heard as tight as you can; and I have heard doing that will stretch the bolts and cause a stress failure? So, I am hoping someone here has the answer. Thanks, Marvin |
