Air Filter

Depending on your intentions…there will be some specialist tools you’ll need. Such as a wrench for the oil filter. Hogparts do a good mail order service as to ARH.

Not keen on Hogparts after the rubbish service I've received.

Our experiences are polar opposites. Love the place.

Total bullshit replying to emails 3 weeks later. As for answering the phone. Saying stock was in when it wasn't that was May and still waiting.

What you waiting for?

Baffles for my tail pipes I bought from them. I've spent a bit of money there so I think I have a right to be pissed off especially when a bit of advice would be appreciated.

Yeah….not the sort of place to get advice from unfortunately. If you need that you’ll be better talking to a specialist and buying from them rather than Hogparts. They’re just an “E” shop really. I drop in and chat because they’re close and they know me.

Nothing like that near me to call in and have a look and ask questions about stuff. I suppose the likes of Hogparts can afford to loose customers.

+1 for Doris's comment re understanding the difference between a dry versus lubed torque value - I learned that one the hard way.

And do remember to unwind the tension from your torque wrench before you store it.

No idea about that until i have a look online as to what it means. I def wont be taking the engine apart anytime soon.

It means, after you’ve used the torque wrench, lower the setting back to the lowest setting. So you’re letting off the tension on the spring So to speak.
it helps the wrench maintain an accurate calibration for longer.

Was on about the dry v lubed torque value Steve.

Every fixing has a correct torque ‘setting’.
Some are fitted dry, some are lubed ( ie coppaslip ) and some are fitted with thread lock.
if you fit a dry fixing to the correct torque, but you’ve put lube on it . You’ve probably over torqued it in reality.
most fixings will go in dry. Things like brake callipers pins may be fitted with stuff like coppaslip. Certain things like major component bolts may be threadlock on them.
Andyb11 may be able to give a more concise answer.

Cheers Steve. Every day is a learning day.

I am now torqued out. Big one will come in handy for hitting someone with.

Make sure you hit someone with a soft head or you will need to recalibrate it.

Add a decent breaker bar to your kit…apologies if I’m telling you something obvious….but don’t be tempted to use the big wrench to back things off.

Nope I'm always up for tips and advice. Breaker bar ?

It’s a long bar with a square drive on the end which you use to slacken off tight nuts n bolts.
a 24 inch one is a good size it’s also known as a strong arm.
this foto is a britool 24 inch, 1/2 inch drive version
