Gonna have to agree to disagree with you there Gnasher.
That's your choice mate :rolleyes But your way is bad practice and at some point it's going to leak, when it does just pray you've not damaged the mating surface and/or stretched the threads as it will. New OE washer is £2.60 ish last I bought one, or copper £5 for 10.
Quote: I'm guessing there is some sort of different version of a torque wrench that fits onto this bolt allowing things to be torqued properly but as you can imagine i would reckon that 99% or more of people won't have this gadget available in their tool box.
Nope, crows foot spanner

I just noticed you can get a couple of washers for about £2.60 on Ebay.
That's very weird you should mention a 'crows foot' spanner because i stumbled on them early this morning (not even sure how?) and i was trying to think of a scenario where they would be useful?
Are you saying there's enough room so you can use a torque wrench with with one of these ends on, because if so i will happily buy one right now just for that job alone?
