45 is to much for the ones with the 10mm head on them. I think it's only 22 or 25. The specs are different for lubed vs. unlubed, but no near 45.

One actually held but i didnt know i was just twisting the stud. The second one broke. I was like o-shyt! that sux.I thought i only broke one but i backed all the bolts off and saw the first stud had twisted and was on the verge of breaking.

I did that before...... not by going to 45 ftlb's, but i broke one. I think by the time i was done it was like $9 shipped to my door for the new stud from ARP.
