Wa Xr6T Maintenance Day Round 3

[Lennox]

Nice, anyone who's done it before mind showing me how to do it tomorrow? And anyone got a torque wrench or do you just crank em as tight as you can?

[Ralph Wiggum]

Tighten them up until they loosen off then back them off half a turn.

I haz a torque wrench.

[arronm]

Just dont get Phantom to tighten anything up for you.

Noobs should use a torque wrench. I do all my bolts up by feel. BUT Iam a mechanic.

[skidxr6t]

What about the tools?

Like seriously, there were bolts I could see but not tighten when I attempted to tighten my exhaust manifold bolts and bolts on the turbo itself.

I'm defiantly interested to see somebody perform this task to see what sorta tools are used so I can buy some tools (I'm an addict to buying tools).

I will be bringing a few SPECIAL ones.

[masda74]

Since Arron is bringing some special tools, make sure you bring some EXTRA pants then.

[Boganspeed]

Awesome.

I have a 3/8 drive torque wrench and a unit joint in both my 1/2 and 3/8 drive socket sets so I'm sure we'll be all good.

[Lennox]

I'm a bolt breaking expert so definitely torque wrench for me...

[discostig]

I dunno, I broke a bolt BECAUSE I used a torque wrench last time

That and misreading the service manual and not thinking about what I was doing...

[Ninka]

I'll be there, and will throw a few tools in the boot, so we should have enough then!!
