When I bought my first saw, my dealer said that I should put as much torque on them when tightening them as possible (that was, of course, with a standard scrench). Lately I've been using a 1/2" drive breaker bar (about 16" long) and a cheap socket to tighten the bar nuts. Is there such a thing as too much? Can bar nuts be overtightened? Should I worry about shearing or popping a stud out? Or is it possible to overtighten with that particular setup? I might add that nothing SEEMS to be wrong with laying the pressure on, but I don't know any better. I know that several years ago, my dad had to replace a bar stud on his Stihl 025 as it pulled right out of the plastic case. It was an expensive fix.
