Does anyone know these? This is a little unreasonable to ask but if I can't get my hands on a torque wrench, what should the right torque feel like with a 3/8 driver of a standard length. That's in advance! :)

Cheers for that! Bloomin heck! 190Nm for the carrier bolts. How the heck will I get that off, let alone re torque it :(

"Use the existing 18mm bolts to install the new brake carrier to the spindle assembly. Torque to 190Nm or 140ftlb."
