'03 Chevy Malibu spec is 284flbs for the original spec axle nut.
For the 13B eccentric shaft nut, find one that requires "only" 350ftlbs to remove. I recall jumping on a make shift 8' breaker bar to try to loosen one. The answer is often not "impact" but grinder...

You need one of these to make sure it can be torqued down or removed properly. http://www.racingbeat.com/RX7-1986-1992/Flywheels/22000.htmlI still have mine! Bought it 15 years ago during my FB days. I don't know why I keep it, I'll certainly never own another engine with cursed spinning triangles. Unless I'm removing it to put a real engine in.
It never occurred to me that it might be worth something. Thanks, I think I will!

Never an issue.Not a great idea on single-use locking axle nuts...
That's for rotary flywheels.

There's a reason the box the hub comes in has a big piece of paper telling you NOT to do that.
