dry unless otherwise instructed like with head boltsWhen using a torque wrench do you put the bolt in dry, or lubricated? If lubricated, what should you use?
Or being a Landy do you just tighten things up with the longest tommy bar in your toolbox?
While I generally agree with you and James about the "feel" of a bolt or nut being tight there are those places and times when a torque wrench must be used, for example cylinder head bolts should be tightened to the correct torque and in the correct sequence as shown in the workshop manuals, this is especially important with aluminium heads or engines. Another place where a torque wrench should be used is on the wheelnuts.
after use back adjuster right off so theres no pressure on the spring,it will stay in calibration a lot longer
Im annoyed I’d never thought of that, obvious once it’s pointed out, nice one
