Your combination valve needs to have the pin on the front of it held in or out when bleeding. It's actually called a bleeder rod.

Is torque-to-yield where you torque to the point that it's about to fail?

The yield point is where the fastener will permanently change.

Bolts stretch when you torque them. Torque to less than the yield, and the bolt relaxes to the original length (elastic deformation). Torque to more, the bolt is now stretched out (plastic deformation). The bolt is not really failed or about to fail, but reusing it will not give you the same clamping force (and then your joint will fail).

I think that's the idea behind LT tires. More tread depth means longer life, especially when carrying heavier loads. The downside being more tread depth means less feedback, and a harder rubber at the end of life if used in the P application.

It's probably nothing insidious and something really dumb like it's easier to kanban pulley assemblies with bolts installed rather than the bolts themselves, because at some point some rear end in a top hat will dump a box of long bolts into a box of short bolts and now you have a rash of cracked timing covers and broken tensioners.
