My torque wrench is a clicker that I used all of the time. I started with an open end wrench and got it snug (but I could only put three fingers on it due to the space restraints). I had issues with getting my hand up there to get a good grip, so I put the torque wrench on it. It turned about another 1/2 turn at the most to get the 72"/lbs. Within 1/4 turn outward, the screw got easier to turn.

I rolled the car back and fourth in N last night and it rolled freely.

Would the 2-7/8 turns out be enough to show slipping? (I did not realize that it was 6 years since I last made this adjustment.)

What happens if this band adjustment is too tight?



thanks allot.
