I guess this goes under the "for what it's worth" collumn but I recently bolted up my inner CV joints. I used gaskets and torqued them down. I waited till the next day to safety wire them and decided to re-torque them. Each bolt turned an additional 1/8 to 1/4 turn. Some of you might already use this tightening technique but I thought I'd post it anyway. For what it's worth. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I stopped using gaskets as there is no way to accurately tq the bolts with a compressible substance in the mix.
