    I'd say use extreme caution if you get one of those gals above to help you torque your bolts. I'm sure either of them could pull more than 8.3 pounds on your ratchet handle......

    Don't worry too much with the torque, Em. Just give each nut the same "pull", and don't make it overly healthy. 120 inch pounds is just ten foot pounds, and that's not a very hard pull. I only mentioned the torque because you're chasing a leak, and we want it tightened evenly.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
