Yeah, i've got torque wrenches but maybe years of doing work on my bike, I don't use them on things like this. The axle nut "good and snug" Pinch bolts, bolts that hold the brake caliper and the like, just snug…

I did in the early days, use a torque wrench for everything that required it. After a while though you do get a feel for what those values feel like. Now I do use it for internal things like the engine…

With all that said, I STILL have issues with the oil filter. I I really should use my torque wrench on those.. I always feel it needs to be tighter than it "Feels".. (So I always turn it back a bit (back off))

Thank you kindly,

It's the first time I've taken the wheel off this particular bike. Next time I'll have an idea how snug good and snug feels, this time I'll use a torque wrench to calibrate my arm.
