@mechaniclink: To be fair. sometimes a properly tightened bolt will still walk out on its own. Or the threads are stretched. But sometimes there are mechs/techs that think, tight-is-tight. This looks like a repeat offender. #mechanic #technician #repair #auto 2425

I went to remove a transmission and only had to remove one bell housing bolt. didn't need a impact to do it either.

I worked with a guy that had the opposite problem. Everything was torqued 300ft lbs +. Doing anything after him was a series of rounded/broken bolts and busted knuckles.

Better than waking up at 2am trying to remember if you tightened that one bolt and not sleeping well for a few days.😳😳😳😂

This is common in construction. Mark every bolt. Some quality even check 10% or so for torque

what's the worst is taking out a bolt, in my case a ATV type rear diff plug, fill plug, and it taking the threads out. 😐 like it fkd on the way out. this wasnt a me problem.

Had a car come in another shop did the transmission and now it wouldn't drive. I couldn't find the torque converter bolts. I guess the vibrated out.
