Hi Ferdman,

I think the issue is likely overblown in some respects ...I had never had any issues with my bolts until they were so way over torqued ...the combo of over torquing, lack of lube, and a car I drive very seldom probably all contributed.

Frankly, the single thing that everyone could do, based on a light reading, is to use anti-seize on the bolts. Won't solve gross incompetence by the Pneumotorquemeisters, but is pretty easy to insist on, along with a torque wrench.
