    Setting out to giving the Blade a full detail and service.

    As I'm super bored so compiled the torque values to the bolts and nuts we commonly remove.
    It's a single A4 sheet PDF so go ahead print/ laminate and hang in your man/lady cave!

    Yes, you can do it by feel, but I'm seriously hench and so do not know my own strength:p

    Am I the only one that has only used a torque wrench once in their life.

    Got a new torque wrench in the post today & I think it's faulty, Set it to 79nm for front axle bolt & it didn't click, even when I knew it was tighter than needed. Lowered the setting to 20nm & still no clicking sound, so back to sender it's going. Ordered a Sealey AK623B. Will see if this fares any better.

    What brand was the faulty wrench? Have you considered a Halfords torque wrench? They are very good quality. Decent price too if you have a trade card.

    It was a Neilsen. Cheap. But I only need something that I will probably only use a couple of times. Hopefully I have better luck with the Sealey one.

    My torque wrench set is Teng tools, very good quality without busting the bank.
    I have a cheapo for 100NM+ this is only used on the rear axle nut!

    A friend of mine used to check the calibration on a tester and they were very consistent

    I used to be in the party of just 'nipping', to be fair only sheared/stripped 1 or 2 bolts ever.

    Whats the consensus on the impact of dry fitting vs antiseize/greasing on torque values?

    hi, very good.
    Just would remind, Honda don't differentiate between wet and dry torques. I assume they mean dry as that's how the factory build them.
    Accordingly, I'd suggest never exceeding these figures, and depending on your own confidence use a little lower value.

    An electronic torque adaptor is very useful to confirm wrench accuracy. I have a certified 20kg weight I use to calibrate a scale, and then the scale to weigh water in a bucket to calibrate the wrench.

    Huge area of debate, wet v dry torques. Can vary by as much as 30%. Furthermore, a new threaded fitting can settle to a different clamping force once reused.
