I just do mine really tight. Never have torqued it down.

Re's instructions say 115 ft-lbs., though I always had mine tighter (probably 140 ft-lbs. or so).

BTW, that website has a lot of instructions on it.

Wish I could be "helping" you guys today. I'm stuck at the office trying to catch up on a project so I can join the group next weekend.

as tight as humanly possible ft lbs. for me.

Tighter than Brian can get it and not as tight as Duke69 can get it. He is he one that blew up the vise, right?

I use to do mine at 170 ft. lbs. and never had it back off.

[NAILER341]
