Also......watching this video they spin the nut 180 degrees but it looks like they are not holding the 24mm bolt head??? So wouldn't the bolt just spin 180?

Does't make sense to me.....does anyone know the correct procedure and why they do it this way????
TTY bolts (torque to yield) supposed to be one time use. Many just Torque to about 80 ft. Lbs. and use blue loctite.

Many bolts are TTY on our cars... TTY with angle ° are supposed to be more exact. Head bolts are that way also. One time use and in that’s case, always replace them.
