[Tripps]

good catch, meant over 40,000

I assumed that, given the rest of the post

If you're not confident, I would take @Triple Trouble up on his offer, he's in your area, and he's so old he probably worked on the first motorcycle, and he'll work for warm beer, I heard.

Councidence?
As I read this, I'm sitting in the Jiffy Lube where they are trying to repair the transfer case drain bolt. They stripped out the allen head socket last change.

Never had a issue. Change the oil in the rear drive every tire change. I like royal purple. Use the same in the transmission on the Harley.

No torque wrenches for me on oil or diff drain bolts!
By the hand & feel that I trust, only!

Very accurate torque wrench. Calibrated every six months at work. It will not lie to you.

Same with tyres why use a gauge when you can just kick the tyre

That was mean

So sorry you have more sensitivity in your booted foot than in your bare fingers.
Sorry, but your analogy was terrible!

in plain english then please explain to the masses how your hand is more calibrated than a torque wrench, it makes me grinch everytime I hear someone say no torque wrenches for me trust me no one is that good, now kicking the tyres is a time proven way of doing it and it must be true for I have seen it in the movies.
