Ok here’s the update. Decided to take the bolt back out for peace of mind because I had no idea what torque was put on with impact. Removed radiator to be able to get at it again with impact. A few raps and it came off no problem. No damage to bolt threads or anything. But a dap of blue loktite and back in and torqued it up to 55 ft pounds. Was able to do that torque with it in gear and brake on. Not sure why it didn’t come off with breaker bar and pipe! Hope that’s enough torque seems like not much but… so all should be well now yes?
