One bit of advice i can offer from past experience is when installing clips i stuff a rag in around the conrod so if you drop anything it doesn't fall down into the bottom case 👍
Hi Chris I think the torque on the APE studs going into case is lower ( 14? or so.... maybe less). 22 is for torquing the head down. I'm sure what you did will work though
+Gustavo Bernasconi, you can use two flange nuts and tighten them together to create a place for a socket to go. However, that didn't work for me, the studs were on too tight. You have to use a stud remover tool that gets tighter as you turn your wrench or ratchet to the left to loosen the stud. I have a tip video for that here: Tip #3 - Cylinder Stud Removal. Also, everything I've done is on my site, www.motobonita.com. The site has a link to the exact place where I bought the tool. Thank you.
