Anyone know what this should be? I can't find it in the Haynes manual.
Thanks.

Turn until it stops then give just a little more until the threads spring. Dont take them up solid or you risk the next stage stage = soft again  A torque wrench is all very well but has no feel so if the thread is weak or over lubricated it can be stripped before you realise anything is wrong. Some of the (never moved before) cross head screws will need an impact driver with a sharp #2 posi bit. Never risk an 8mm open end spanner on the M6 male hex headed screws. How would I know that.  |

Thanks, I did them up to 10Nm figuring that it wouldnt be too much but if it wasnt enough it would just mean air getting sucked in.
Guess that's one thing i can cross off the list :-)
