Crankin' bolt

[dswalterwi at gmail.com (Don Walter)]

No I wasn't worried Ben.  The Bently talks about 2 different types of
bolts.  A hex bolt and a 12-point (the stretch type).  All bolts do
stretch minimally but you don't want to reach the yield strength or
you'll get a failure.

Bently says:
Hex bolt (with washer) 150 Nm (111 ft lb) thats quite a lot
12-point bolt (without washer) 90 Nm (66 ft lb) plus 1/4 turn

I could see using an impact on the hex bolt and cranking until it
doesn't move but I would be a bit hesitant on doing that with the
12-point.

I just bought a brand new 12-point from Adirondack and was told the
other is no longer available.  Which kind of bolts is everyone talking
about?
