diy rear springs

[stef787]

how important is it to use the correct torque when you put the lower shock absorber bolt back in? I want to replace the rear springs but I don't have a torque wrench . if its necessary, does anyone know the torque value of the bolt? thanks

Can't help with the torque setting but if you're in striking distance of Leicester you're welcome to borrow my torque wrench.

I've never used a torque wrench in my life, just do them up tight.

Check the link below for the instructions:

There is a link in there as well through to the torque settings.

Good luck
