I just installed the tranny and front subframe on my 5kT last night. I looked up the torque spec for the subframe bolts and it seems they state 48 ft lbs. + 90 degrees. So these bolts are stretch bolts and have to be replaced, right??? I just want to confirm this w/ anyone who's BTDT. I tried to tighten to this spec yesterday, and only a couple would turn that much. Hopefully nothing snaps when I try to put in different ones. Thanks.
