Anyone have superbolt's supernuts on their applications and had difficulty removing them? Anyone consider using hydraulic nuts as an alternative?

RE: Users of Superbolt/Supernuts
One other problem I heard of that some people want to over torque the jack screws based on their intuition of the prescribed torque not being enough.
RE: Users of Superbolt/Supernuts
For bolted connections that we need to break in a hurry, we use overlength studs and a hydraulic stud tensioner. It grips the stud end threads and stretches it; then the nut is run down by hand.
Hydraulic nuts look expensive,and the seals would be a worry. But I am sure they have their niche.
