rustyrhinos Well-Known Member Aug 16, 2010 #42 Good point oxide I don't have a torque wrench hear, a job to do when I get over to my parents again. Unless I buy one...could do with one really...might look into it!

rustyrhinos Well-Known Member Aug 17, 2010 #51 Yeah, and I do know better...to be honest cannot remember if I have torqued it up again or not. Somehow I think not, but oh well!
