5. TORQUE THE FITTING
Using a back-up wrench in conjunction with a calibrated
torque wrench, torque the connection to the midrange
of the specification .
After completion of torquing, use a clean shop towel to
remove any excess oil from the connection or any oil
that may have dripped on the vehicle body or other
parts .
If a leak is suspected after torquing, do not retighten or
retorque the connection. Instead, disassemble the con-
nection, remove the O-ring, and inspect the O-ring,
threads, joints and seating surfaces.
