    Image Unavailable, Please Login I hear ya Grant. It’s expensive, but really rewarding. This car is at the pinnacle of the old-school breed. It’s mechanically and physically a work of art.

    To answer your question, “special tools, there is no better way” according to my tech.

    Given I want to tighten to the torque spec, this is something I've been wondering too. Might need to make a tool - not sure. I'll ask a few of my tech buddies.

    Yes that was what. Did last time and it took the full impact to get it off so it does tighten lots. Just would be nice if it was easy to torque with a wrench
    Thanks skip

    I considered that too, but mine is turning so smoothly I decided it could stay a bit longer.
