No torque specific number. Tighten by hand and then a slight tightening to makes sure it is seated. It doesn't need to be as tight as you can get as the valve itself just just pushed down a ball valve that closes the line. Once it's closed, fluid stops running through the bleeder.

So, it is all about the touch then. Think I'll quit while I'm ahead . . .

Don't forget to bleed the clutch slave while you are at it.

I may regret asking this, but how do you bleed the "clutch slave"? Then again, if I have to ask, maybe I shouldn't . . .?

Don't regret asking that. There is a bleeder nipple for the clutch on top of the case. There is a DIY with pics over on Renntech.org that shows it. I've also attached it for you.

Dell, how many times have you been told: "You are the Man!"? Once again, thank you.

Aaron, thank you for the kind words. It is my pleasure. Believe it or not, I actually enjoy helping out. Just ask the long list of users that frequent my garage
