Whitleline RMM insert

[saiko21]

Hello Guys,

Whoever changed the RMM or placed the insert, How you guys torqued the RMM properly? Can't place a socket in that area because of downpipe. unless I remove the downpipe I can't exactly torque the Nut. if I tighten it more or less its gonna stress out the motor mounts and cause premature failure

You have to get a "crowfoot" socket tool. It's like a wrench attachment for your ratchet.

Something like this:

Something like this:

But it does change the torque as the distance is added by some amount if I am not wrong. It may be negligible but if exact torque is needed we need to account for that minor additional distance

It's negligible, but make sure you have it at a 90° angle with the body of the torque wrench before you attempt to torque it. Get it tight with a regular open-end wrench first and then use the crowfoot. This is the only way to torque that bolt with the downpipe still attached.

You really only need to use that when you're not at a 90° angle.
