Nathan I am sure that those bolts are single use only and new ones should be used for a rebuild but is sure DB will correct me Stuart |
| naffsharpe (Nathan):
Thanks for the replies. I will be using a home made protractor as per your suggestion David. Stu, you're correct they are single use and I'm fitting new. Nathan. |

You will be able to "feel" when the bolts are starting to stretch on the last 1/4 turn Like you say only use the bolts once with plenty of lube John |

You can get an angle torque gauge for a few pounds. They are easy enough to use. At the garage I used work at we had a Snap On tech wrench that did traditional torque and angles. You could go 45° back of and go another 45° and it would know. Don't ask me how. Great bit of kit but not cheap. Angle gauge like this. http://www.eurocarparts.com/mobile/ecp/p/tools/car-service-tools/general-engine-tools/torque-gauges/?SEAVS530&0&t5_428 You can get them cheaper as that is a sealey one |
