[QUOTE="Jonzjob, post: 1853827, member: 149248"] I know. You could do it standing on yer head. well, you lot down there will be used to doing just that init already. And the proper expression is "don't force it, use a bigger hammer" I even know the correct torque fro the screws and it works every time. Up to shear and back a quarter! Talking about torque. Did you know that when an engine was changed in a Bristol Britannia aircrft the 4 bolts holding the engine were tightened using a hydraulic spanner. The bolts were hollow and had a small rod welded inside them with a loose washer on the open end. The washer was turned as the bolt was tightened and the correct torque was shown when the bolt had stretched and the washer was just tight and couldn't be moved. They were once only bolts and had to be thrown away when the engine was changed again. Not-a-lot-a-people-know-that. [/QUOTE]
