Finally got to work on my raptor today. Putting it back togther I was tightening down the clutch spring bolts. I ran them in and went to torque them down to 5lbs. Doing the third bolt in a star pattern the bolt broke in half. Couldn't believe it. I got the remainder of the bolt out.

Anyone heard of this happening or is it just my Luck. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

happened to me 2 times in a row. No fun, but get a new bolt and move on. Its not really a big deal, atleast it wasnt for me..

every fricken bolt on the raptor breaks

 

unless you have a good quality low lb range torque wrench, chances are you are over tightening.

 

Manual calls out 5.8ft.lbs.

Yes I ought to go get a smaller torque wrench. I have the 150lbs and the 80lbs. wrench. I will go get the smallest one. Thanks guys.
