Mal - thanks, that's very helpful. The crank still turns freely (or what I assume is freely). I torqued pretty much all of the larger bolts to right at 80. One or two probably went above that. I can certainly back them off to 70. We'll need to take out all the cotter pins and reset them, but that's not that bad of a job.

Would 10-15 ft/lbs over spec really damage the bolts? Or would I have to be far over that?

Or would it be better to just leave it as is?
