Damn dude, it's guys like you that make mechanics cringe when you tell them you do your own work.
You obviously have no idea what TTY or TTT bolts are and that's fine, if you don't know, you don't know. Being too lazy though to look them up and learn something makes you a really bad mechanic.
This thread came up in a Google search because I knew they were single use and I was trying to look up the torque for them.
Several places said 45ft/lbs + 90 degrees which is odd as that is a TTT spec but when I did it they all yielded roughly at 90 degrees so they are definitely TTY bolts and the spec is just a guide. Basically just do them all in two steps to yield.
