Separating Connections

To avoid lateral (bending) force on the connector mating plane surfaces, always
support the devices and connections.
1 Use an open-end wrench or spanner wrench to prevent the device body from
2 Use another open-end wrench or the torque wrench to loosen the connector
3 Complete the separation by hand, turning only the connector nut.

push the handle straight down along its length rather than pivoting it,
otherwise you apply an unknown amount of torque.
You don't have to fully break the handle of the torque wrench to
reach the specified torque; doing so can cause the handle to kick
back and loosen the connection. Any give at all in the handle is
sufficient torque.
