Thanks, I read the whole thread but am wondering why I missed that Sept '09.

It confirms that I would not use that technique for torquing the p'plate bolts. Using a universal joint with a torque wrench assures inaccurate readings. Plus the terror of dropping a bolt in or worse yet the socket. More power to you guys that like this method but I'll stick with mine. In Mar of last year when I changed my disc and surfaced the flywheel, the p'plate bolts 'broke' at the same torque I installed them in '95. Nothing had loosened after hard usage.
