REALLY?
Once you remove the bolt, you will know that it was not torqued to the extreme, maybe you cannot tell the difference. If you need a torque wrench to tighten a bolt to 22 lbs, you should have someone else perform this task. Thanks for the tip!

Built multiple race cars… you don’t mess with brakes when going 160+ on track. Do it right or don’t do it at all. As tight as possible is way more than 22 lbs.

I don’t know, I think that’s pretty specific…I took it to mean a half turn more than, “not quite enough” but just shy of “that’s not going anywhere.”

I think you need somewhere between German tight (Gutentite) but less than Russian tight (Brokenov)!

I went to their site and the adapter is $54.99 and the one they show for a Z06 is $82.99???? The SR one fits and works, have to wonder how much different the Z06 one is, or does it just get assessed with the Z06 tax?
