I just installed these two lines and am curious as to their toques specs. Considering the Craftsman wrenches that fit the nuts are 1.5 feet long I could easily put 100 ft/lbs of torque on them but that seems a little much. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> So does anyone know the correct torque values for them?
Thanks in advance.

Come on fella's I know I'm not the only one who's installed a motor and you have to disconnect these lines to remove/install a motor. So who's gonna be the lucky gent/lady who win's the "thanks for helping me finish installing my motor" prize?

I do not know the answer or how you can actually be able to read torque with an open wrench... maybe there is another tool I need to justify purchasing with the work I have to do in my car...
Since those are compression fittings and should seal with minimal torque, I would think that you will need to adjust them until they do not leak...
I would like to know also since I have to install mine soon...
