We have now learned that the torque is set at the high tolerance at the factory. We have also learned that the factory now sets the upper tolerance at 75 lbs. We have learned much. My point was that the manual clearly states that we should check the torque every 6 months and most of us, my self included, did not. So we did not do a required maint task and we had a failure..shame on me. Had we done the required maint we would not have had the problem. That perhaps they should have a better product is another issue. The problem we had was preventable had I followed required maint.. It is hard to blame others for my non- compliance.
