Finger tight? I have a completely different scenario. I am installing a set of steel exhaust side. I am using a double nut and running into serious resistance. The last one (8 more to go) required heat and a breaker arm bar to get to to about 135.5. I am actually concerned I don't damage the threads on the barrel end from tightening the double nuts as much as required.

The thought of running them past 135, then backing them off seems impossible to me. Does the collet allow significantly more torque to be place on the stud?
