Do the torque figures have to be adhered to exactly. I think my torque wrench may be faulty. Can i do it 'by feel'.

Thanks

Harry

Do it by feel, just nip it up, never had a problem with just doing that on mine. Just don't give it the extra bit a lot of people can't resist doing, you'll soon know if it's too slack if it leaks.

Your choice, your bike.

They don't put them in the Haynes for the hell of it though. Wink

"Help i snapped my bolt" thread already happened in my garage! Hence i have a faulty torque wrench as i triple and quadruple checked my settings Shocked

Already sourced replacement banjo's and a pissing torque wrench that works and installed to the correct settings. Tar anyway Thumbs Up

If it's got a torque on it I tend to yes. Especially with stuff like that. If it's too loose it'll leak, if it's too tight you can knacker the bolt or thread. Takes two seconds longer rather than the two grunts and it's tight approach.
