Shimano pedals are 35 or 40 NM (25 to 29 ft pounds), as I recall.
If you can't do that with a hex bit, you are not competent to
work on anything.

40nm, isn't that the typical casette torque? You are supposed to do
that with an 8mm allen wrench? Not that I ever saw this situation
first hand!

BTW I don't think I put the pedals in that hard. I have a torque
wrench but for sockets, not an open spanner - unless you can buy
that as a separate part and plug it in?

But I doubt they (the pedals) will get much deeper anyhow...?
