Looks great.

I appreciate all types of how-to write ups with pics. Great contribution.

oh yeah. and mine doesn't force you to watch ads or listen to me narrate.

did you notice the power tool he used while saying to torque the nuts to spec?

Thanks. I just install mine today. Btw, I dont have torque wrench to set to 20 Nm . Is that Ok?

***Bownse*** · 08-12-2008, 03:20 AM

if you get it tight enough without getting it too tight, then it should be okay. the wrench is to make sure. well worth the investment over the rest of your wrenching life.
