clay Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 If you over tighten them. you risk them cracking. then they leak a lott. I HAD TO GET A NEW PAIR. OOOOPPPSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Just out of interest...what is the torque rating on these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Think it's about 4nm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Paine Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I overdid mine and had to get the crack welded. I was using a torque wrench set at the recommended 5nm. I think with new seals it should be tightened to not a lot more than finger tight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 5.5 Nm according to the wsm on the homepage Thats against new seals that haven't gone rock hard though so the seal will compress more than an old hard one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 TT 5.4nm, NA 8.3nm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
