The fc is 65-87 ft-lbs so i would assume an fd would be the same.

Unless you work at the local tyre depot....then just get the biggest bar going...and stand on it! And if you dont weigh in at least 20 stone...get a mate to join you!!

Hell yeah!

You\'ll stretch those little things, and ironically it will cause the nut to loosen!

Correct torque only!! I always use 85ftlbs
