Last night I attempted to check the torque of the many nuts on my 300CX, as instructed by the owners manual/user guide, but became a bit confused when I found the 'bolts' provided nothing to grab onto with a wrench; they are round with a zerk fitting in the 'middle'. When I tried to check the torque on one of them (attaching the torque wrench to the 'nut') the 'bolt' spun a little bit, then seemed to stop (I assume the bolt heads are eccentric, at least they look that way). I tried a couple of others, did the same thing. Rather than take a chance of screwing something up (I do more than my fair share of that), I decided to wait and ask the forum.
Am I doing this wrong? Will the 'bolt' stop spinning once the eccentric 'locks up' and allow me to properly torque the nut?
