[QUOTE="Marklx, post: 138715, member: 23423"] If you use a torque wrench, be sure it cost a few hundred dollars. The only bolt (maybe the only one) I've stripped was using a $50 torque wrench. It didn't get an accurate reading due to grease on the threads, and snap. Off to Kawasaki I went. The mechanic there agreed that anything less than $300 is junk. It isn't that torque wrenchs are bad, just use a good one or don't bother. I've heard that the needle type are more accurate than the click and twist type. My wrist is certified accurate within 3 foot pounds, or maybe that's how much weight I can lift. Don't remember. I've found that using a good 3/8" socket wrench, you get good leverage, but not enough to break things. My 1/2" socket is used only for axles. Mark Mark [/QUOTE]
