Hello all,
As I was installing the bolts in the hinge parts I was wondering if these needed to be torqued to a certain value, going thru the manual I see torque values on page 5-10. do these apply to any bolt I use?
With that I started looking at my torque wrench and figured out how to set the values. I tried the wrench on the bolts described above and never heard the click but only tried them a little bit. I am afraid that I would over torque them and break the bolt or nut plate. I did set the wrench to 23 in lb as shown on page 5-10. Even trying a much lower value did not make the wrench click. Am I doing something wrong?
Second question, in step 2 you place the bushings between the hinges, there is a warning to ensure that the hinge spacing remains the same. In my case the top bushing on one side is fine, the hinge remain at the same spacing. The bottom one is a fraction too short, it can slide about 1/32 of an inch (measure guesstimate) The hinge remain at the same spacing Is this a problem?
thanks!
Peter
