[QUOTE="FOURCED, post: 8150211, member: 16076"] If you buy a quality allen head socket you won't have that problem. I thought it was a bunch of crap myself until I found out first hand. And when I mean a "quality" allen head socket I'm talking about Snap-on, and yes it is that big of a difference. The first set of bolts I had I stripped out trying to torque them to spec with a Craftsman 8mm allen socket. Jason at CSS told me that a Snap-on socket would work better and so I had a friend order one for me... was 18 bucks I believe. I can torque the MM button head bolts on the rear all day long at 76 ft/lbs. with that socket and it not think about stripping out the head of the bolt. Craftsman 8mm socket measured out at .312, which is really 5/16". The Snap-on socket measures out at .315, which is what 8mm really is supposed to be. Shannon [/QUOTE]
