Think I probably overdid it here and should loosen that nut. What say you?

On a side note, is this happening to anyone else? To get my user CP and notifications to show up on oppo, first I have to go to my own personal kinja ( !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ), bypass this:

and go to oppo from there.

I get that screen randomly at home a lot, for random websites. More often than not any time i try to use google. I think it’s my router being dumb but I’m not smart enough to figure it out

This is happening on two completely different networks though.

Well it hasn’t split yet so that’s good.

Remove the “s” from https and it’ll work. Kinja isn’t an encrypted platform.

I got that screen for google.com one time.

No, but the login with a google account is.

But should I back it off a bit?

You’re right. It works fine for me with the https, so I can’t help, sorry.

Consult the magic wrench. Therein lies the answer you seek.

#1, there’s no real way to consult the magic wrench directly, as you have to hold the top of the shaft with an open end wrench.

#2, when I figured out a way to get an approximate reading (used a nut in the socket and the bolt on the closed side of the wrench) the torque seemed way too high. And yes I divided the torque by 2 due to having an extra foot of wrench. It was squishing out more than this and hadn’t reached the torque I was aiming for—I’ve already backed it off a little.

I haven’t changed enough of these to really get a feel for how much compression to look for in the bushing, so torque is the only way I know if it’s enough.

Is there another point from which you could hold the shaft from turning? When I replaced my shocks, I was able to tighten the nut with a deep socket while an assistant held the outer sleeve of the shock with a strap wrench.

The outer sleeve on these is not rigid, unfortunately. It’s actually rubber. Besides it isn’t actually attached to the shaft, it just slides over top.

Only thing I can think of would be to use a crowfoot wrench then.
