Over torqued, now what?
2012 F-450, 10-lug. I just replaced the front wheel bearing assemblies. I believe the four nuts on the back side of the bearing should be torqued to 135ft-lbs. On one side I mistakenly torqued to 250ft-lbs. What should I do?

To follow up, I loosened the nuts. They all float normally on the studs. The threads are not deformed. I torqued to correct spec, and feel good about it. I also consulted a professional mechanic who does not see a problem.

I wouldn't worry too much, with our 84 f250, I didn't realize one wheel has reversed threads, and after jumping on the socket (with a breaker bar) using a very powerful impact as well. Yeah it's fine. Came off and back on with no issues.
