First off, to say "most people failed" blaming folks vs the fastener (sure some probably over torqued), is by far ignorant (no personal attack intended)
Ignoring most of your previous posts, the studs hold the sprocket from spinning.
Back to your orginal BOLDED question.
Do you, or anyone else know what the hardness of that stud/nut is? Lets say it is the highest grade. (Of course we don't even know that)
Per your Fastenal chart, the MAXIMUM torque is 10 lbs lower. That is FACT, you posted it in BLACK AND WHITE which you requested. NO, it not nilly willie.
Using that chart vs the FSM, can you agree that 62 ft lbs MAY be more acceptable than 72? Not my opinion, nor anyone elses.
Most will probably be able to get 62 depending on the accuracy of their torque wrench, clean dry threads, etc.
And lastly, if their was no locking tab on the nuts, I agree, it would be considerably MORE CRITICAL of that fastener NOT to be too loose.
I do wish you read would read those links and numerous posts of 72 being too high and with your back round, come up with something acceptable as ALL the points others(including myself) have made DON'T mean squat, just your opinion..
Re me posting, for others to read the threads/posts and this entire thread and the other and let them decide, WHY DOES THAT BOTHER YOU??? If it prevents one person from destroying that hub, GOOD!!!!! One one of the threads I posted, the guy couldn't get the nut off as it was ALREADY stripped. Seems the previous mechainic/owner stripped it and left that way.
Your NOT the only one with an opinion that counts, and to ignore/discount everyone elses, is wrong.. You (and I), don't know everyones backround, engineering skills, etc, that's here..
Can you please address the sentence previously posted;

And lastly, Perhaps find a mechanical engineer, or better yet, contact ARP, send them a stud, nut, test the hardness of both, explain the specifics of the application, the type nut, etc and let them test. IMO, I think that woud be about as scientific as you can get. Do you agree to that???
