Does the Villages Golf Cart seller that has shops in the various Squares pick up golf carts or do you have to drop it off now?
Provided that the bolts are NOT left-hand threads, then you would need a lot of torque - coming from a long 1/2 or 3/4 breaker bar (and maybe even a metal pipe added for more torque).
...........I wonder if you have uncovered a CONSPIRACY of the shop over-tightening to require professional service. Just asking.
