A question for someone who has done this procedure:
When I re-tightened the 3 sprocket bolts, I was very nervous about breaking them, mostly because reading this thread I learned of someone else who broke them. So what I am wondering is how tight do the bolts get? To me it seemed like they were turning back in more then they turned coming out and I was scared to go too tight and twist off the bolt. I do have a torque wrench howeven not sure if I trust it. It is in in-pounds and NM. According to a online conversion 18 ft pounds is 24 NM but as I said the bolts seemed to be turning back a lot and not getting real tight. Any insight would be appreciated.
tks
