Re-Torquing Drive Shaft Flange Bolts

Depending your maintenance interval 5k or 7k, toyota recomends to retorque your drive shaft flange bolts to spec. Is that really needed, if you never taken your drive shaft off because those bolts have factory lock tight on them.

The only way to get a torque wrecnch in there is with a extension and universal joint.

So who here does this?

No, I would not call that a necessary item (they are loctited in there).
