    Just to note, ya don't have to screw over your fellow driver to accomplish said acquisition. It's all in the timing.

    Sounds like you’re locking their calf over...., that #### ain’t right!!!


    Yea, when dealing with SS bolts, remember the threads usually galled when tightened extremely hard. And yes they break trying to get the nuts off. SS is nice when common sense is used while using them.....

    Well its over, I'm done for 2020. Now she had to snap one more off in me today. First load broke drive coupler in electric roll tarp still closed of course. It's at the tarp shop and I'm going to buy beer. 2020 can straight F the hell off!

    But I managed to get this pic, making my unplanned trip. Think he just pulled over.

    You are 100% right. I have tried & tried about a 50mile radius of home. Just can't locate anyone that has any pride in the work they do. I pay to have something done, & it's worse than when I brought it in.. Best case I'm just re route lines or wires out of harm's way, & chasing loose fasteners. Worse case was the truck wouldn't pull an overpass empty..

    Don't know this to be the case everywhere. And if & when I do have a good experience I will let it be known.. Seems to be some fine, knowledgeable hands such as @AModelCat, but going to Canada for help just somehow doesn't feasible..? Lmao

    A little lube on threads and not get over aggressive with the tightening of SS makes them reusable ! And never ever use an impact gun !
