Just be sure to tell them about the TPMS sensors in the tires. Some measure of care is needed to avoid damaging them.

Gutentight works fine.... ;) just make sure to put a cotter pin back in, or a nail, or something, to keep the nut on.... ;)

Come on guys, most of us never torque the rear caliper bracket bolt anyway, so you expect someone to do it as an emergency repair?  I can see torquing the rear axle nut, but even then, there is the cotter pin to keep it from backing off.

yeap, as long as you clear the cotter pin you are in good shape. That's what  it was done.
