Over 2k, the upper bolt tightened that much. Weird.
I dont know about 2000 pounds of torque but i do know that the passanger front side was sitting on that wrench and it wouldn't budge. I guess it could be 2000 pound. but the wrench wasn't a foot long with the bottle jack on it. the wrench is probably 6 inches or less. what does that convert to? 12"=2000 as 6"=1000??? i dont know the conversion. What ever IT WAS......IT WAS alot.
