One mistake that was made was not loosening the fastener each time, but length definitely has an impact even with using a universal socket. But doing the way it was done in the video can over torque a joint, giving an incorrect clamp load.
Very interesting.. i didn't know it would have that much of an effect. I figured it would do something but not enough to he overly concerned about... Now im dreading the day i have to take out my 4l60E torque converter bolts.. torqued to spec with thead locker, and i used a home made 5 inch or so long torque adapter. I definitely over torqued them fuckers lol. Brand new engine, but the trans was still doing fine at 300k, so I left it be for the time being
