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...?
