today I have been
 
removing the front brake caliper - figured I'd check the condition of the front brakes (loads of wear left) but I wanted to remove it as an excuse to use my new shiny torque wrentch.

I then bled the front brake.


...and then over torqued a nut so later on I'll be drilling the snapped off bit out and replacing with a new one.

When my centre stand arrives (early next week) I'll be removing wheels & inner tubes.

I've got loads of tools.

I'm as happy as a pig in the proverbial!!!!!

Torque wrenches don't replace "feel" for what a nut/bolt can take.

Also if you use copperslip then reduce the torque, as the reduced friction in greased threads means more actual tension on the bolt. I reduce settings by 10% when greased.

I have a feeling that threadlock would have similar effect before it sets.
