Torque Spec
Due to the little of Heaven called Obama Care My health care went up $1000.00 per month so now I am doing all not some of my service work. I blew the dust off my manual to make sure I included everything, that where question comes. After adjusting my clutch I checked the torque specs. on the cover they say 84-108 if my memory serves me correctly from yesterday. I have good tools no not Snap-On's but good ones is there a trick to getting that much torque on the small Torx head bolts with out stripping the head?

inch pounds, the torx is a T27 ( NOT T25)

That sucks about your healthcare bill. Hope you are still healthy.
Check that those numbers are inch-pounds....not foot-pounds so if you prefer foot-pounds you can divide that by 12 but would probably be too small a number for most tourque wrenches capable of 100+ foot pounds. You might want to buy or borrow a smaller torque wrench that gives inch-pound increments.

The derby cover?
They are 84-108 in. lbs....
Which would be 7-9 ft. lbs.
I have 3 torque wrenches, and none of them will get that low.... I've been looking for one, but without spending a TON of money, I can't find one. Even the Snap On truck only had one that went down to 15 in. lbs., and it was $300...

The derby cover just needs to be snug. Don't crank it on and you'll be fine.
The Harbor Freight torque wrenches get a pretty good rating and they're cheap.
