I'm in the process of replaicng CV axles on my '86CSTurbo, but I don't have a torque wrench that goes to the 208lbs limit. I used a 1/2 inch braker bar and a long pipe to remove and tighten up the axle nut. I think that I'm with in limits. Question: can "overtighting" an axle nut make things worse??
