A couple of things starting with the torque wrench-
you should never use a click type past its click, or
it will certainly require recalibration at the least.
Secondly, I agree with Ken as you're supposed to be
gently loosening the engine as it gradually frees up;
and using enough force to break a bolt or nut of that
size would probably break the rings before anything
else (which defeats the purpose of the procedure to
begin with)!
As for that penetrating oil, I've never used it; but
I have used Solder Seal chain lube and have found it
to actually get into hidden threads and loosen things
up. Two new things I've found through my bicycle club
(Rivendell-highly recommended) are Boeshield T-9 made
by Boeing and ProLink chain lube made by ProGold
lubricants which is utterly amazing stuff.
I've been off the internet for almost two months
because of the wireless service at the extended stay
hotel I was at was being changed and everthing was
screwed up, but now I'm in a house with my own
service.
I've got to say that you're the chattiest bunch ever
as I now have over 1,200 posts to go through, and
they're almost all this club even though I'm in four
other clubs. I guess this is a compliment as it shows
the interest and passion we have for our favorite
marque.!
And Otis, we're almost neighbors now as I'm in
Florissant on Charbonier! Glad to be back!
