I used a good T-30; the kind that looks like its stuck in a 3/8 drive socket. Thought something was going to break, but it works just fine.



Really? I broke at least two of those. Thank Zod for Sears' and Home Depot's return policy...

In the days before I torqued things back together, used to tighten stuff back with about the same force it took to get it apart. DO NOT USE THIS TECHNIQUE ON CAM CAP BOLTS!! Use a torque wrench.




And don't torque them past 8NM as spec'd in the manual. My old torque wrench only goes down to about 12.5NM. I thought, "That's close enough, isn't it?" Right. Snapped two bolts before ordering a new itty-bitty torque wrench.
