Well they do stretch and inflate….
I see what you did there. That was a good one.

I actually checked mine yesterday. I know they are supposed to be 77ft lbs + 120 degrees. I put a torque wrench on them at 120ft lbs and it clicks immediately. I haven't tried any higher but thats good enough for me. I'll probably save those bolts as extra for the $50 free shipping minimum.
