Best to beg/borrow/steal a torque wrench particularly tightening steel into alloy. Mistakes can prove expensive. Please dont use agricultural techniques! :eek :lolNever has a truer word been spoken. Whilst changing my rear brake pads a few days ago, I decided for the first time in ages to actaully torque the bolts to the right torque. I was amazed when tightening them with a normal ratchet I was already over the 40Nm required and had to back them off!!!
