    Swapping brake lines

    Hopefully whoever fitted these brakes used a torque wrench. It's incredible how little these things (and most things) need tightening. Car wheelnuts are torqed (mostly) at 120Nm. If you try tightening by feel after using a torque wrench you easily get another quarter turn and could even get...
