I've always been told not to re-torque bolts if it can be avoided and its better to replace them in certain applications, for example automotive applications where integrity of the fasteners are critical. The reason being is that torqued bolts somewhat stretch and threads purposely deform during the tightening process. I thought about this after I installed my WDH and wondered about loosening them for adjustments at any time in the future, then having to re-torque them. Anyone have thoughts about this?
