    Yes I looked for wear, and all looked pretty good except the starter drive gear. There were a couple of teeth that looked a little wore, but I don't have the time to tear into that at the moment. As far as the clutch slipping, not too worried about that one. Thanks though dude..:D

    I did a post recently on a NOrthern Tool Digital Torque wrench that sells for 100.00 that was on sell for 40.00
    It does INch lbs, foot lbs and NM lbs.
    With it all you had to do was set it and listen for the beep. And it was super accuract. More accurate than a clicker torque wrench.

    I think you should just use a 3/8 dr ratchet and tighten it down just before it snaps. :D

    The cool thing about aluminum is just before they break you can hear that sound of the aluminum stretching then bang, to late. :roflmao:
