I want to remove and replace my Dellortos and the instructions are to torque to [EDITED] 13 inch-lbs. Most of you know what that feels like intuitively, but I'm a newbie and don't want to screw up my new toy.
I don't yet own a torque wrench -- don't think I've even used one before. I'm wondering which one I should buy for this and future 914 stuff. E.g. my valve covers are converted to bolt on. |

"But I didn't learn until driving to two hardware stores tonight that 13mm nuts aren't so easy to buy." I'm not surprised you had a hard time finding 13mm nuts. Try looking for 8mm nuts. |
