 How to cuss up - broken bolt gearbox cover
#13
experience will teach you that 54 nm is a lot of torque and no way was correct for such a small bolt

experience will also teach you that you do not need to torque those bolts to an exact specification

a bit beyond snug is perfect and experience also teaches you that 'feeling'

this is a case where being too absorbed with specs resulted in a problem

no problem in the end you learned something and you will get your bike back together just fine and be back on the road

we all make mistakes and hopefully learn from them
