Hello Folks,

Great forum and grateful for all the priceless info on here.

I finally tackled the transmission service in the wife's car ('10 C300 4Matic) the proper way. One issue I have is the proper tightening of the 6 pan bolts. The spec calls out for torquing them down to 4nm and then turn an additonal 180 degrees and your done. Where the heck are you guys finding a torque wrench that can support 4nm's? I have a standard Craftsman 1/2" torque wrench, but that doesn't seem to have it. I looked all over the net, but can't find anything. I don't know if I can't read a torque wrench (lol) or if I just don't have the right equipment. I already busted one bolt by over tightening.

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks!

Select the 20-200 inch/pound option and you'll see it

Thanks Wagen, but the link shows it only going to 13.6nm. I'm still searching.

Oops, never mind, I see it!!! Thanks!

Look for a wrench that measures inch lbs rather than foot lbs. You will have to convert the measurement but it should get you low enough.

5nM is a standard for high end bicycle components.
