I hope your not using that impact gun to put the bolt on are you? If you are then you will continue to snap bolts. You should get a torque wrench, period.

Found this in the Gears and Axles forum:

http://fbodyknowledge.org/media/fbodytorque.pdf

Print it out, laminate it, and staple it to your garage wall.

Do not use an impact gun on that stuff. You will continue to cause yourself pain and suffering! I think there is a read at install university, or ls1howto
