Mine were extremely tight to remove also, infact so tight that two of the lock washers were broken in two and a third was cracked. I think they tightened the easy to get to ones with an air impact not a torque wrench, I also think the torque spec drop is strange I think I will drive mine a...

The 200 ft/lb torque spec came from the TM 9-2320-361-24-1 attached are images of the three pages including dissassembly, diagram, and reassembly. The torques are listed as 175 to 200 ft/lb. If the torque is 350 to 400 I will need to retorque them. Where did those numbers come from? I looked at...
