   Just get the longest breaker bar u can find and swing off it till the nuts get really really tight then suddenly just go loose. That's when u know it's right

    8? You sure? I was thinking more along the line of 20-30, well its 28nm on the bentley w12 if that's anything to go by!?

    I doubt it would need more than 12-15 n m, I dont have a haynes manual though with me to be sure, its certainly not going to be a lot.

    studs are 8-10 nm and the copper nuts are 6-8 nm if your using the copper nuts that is.
