[QUOTE="WBill, post: 1421131, member: 15300"] I find torque wrenches too long for this job. In fact, I find my 1/2 " ratchet handle too long. I keep my fingers up close to the axis of (bolt) rotation, where the socket is, if you will, maybe a finger down on the handle shank, and turn it until it feels "good n'tight." That's enough. I'd rather have it a little loose and weep oil than strip the threads. I can always tighten it a little more if it leaks. WBill [/QUOTE]
