do yourself a favor before the install and invest in a good Torque wrench.
a good piece of mind considering the damage you could do without one.

 

Its not so much about damaging the soft aluminum threads in the plenum as much as it is a PIA to spend the time and effort of getting broken pieces of bolt out.

You can spend a day running to the hardware store buying a bolt extraction kit, disassembling the plenum (again), drilling into a snapped bolt, keeping metal shavings out of the runners, taking it out, putting it all back together (again) and at the end of the day your back will be sore from all the bending.

You will not be a happy camper by the end of the day.

The nut driver with leather gloves is safe, but what ever you do, do not over torque the bolts.

Fortunatly, the message has been getting out here on the boards. I've noticed there are far, far fewer reports of broken bolts now than there was a year ago.

 

.. yea.. that was a fun time.. doin 30 inch-lbs, then 60, then 90 for all those bolts and nuts..
