incorrect torque on pressure plate

[hipwell]

I changed my clutch a few weeks ago but I've just realized I didn't torque up the pressure plate bolts, I just nipped them all up tight.

The car has been running fine and clutch doesn't slip.

Should I take the car to bits again to torque them up or is it not likely to be a massive issue?

Depends how tight you did them.
Although the torque setting is prop not that high tbh.

You can access it through the timing mark hole if you wish to tighten then up more.

Yeh I thought that Dan but I won't be able to get a torque wrench on them.

I did them pretty tight, I'm more worried about uneven pressure a cross the plate...or am I just been pananoid?

Paranoid, if they were tight its fine.

I agree paranoid, might not get a torque wrench in there but you can get a spanner and check it all.

They're only 10nm or similar iirc anyway.

Think its 25 isnt it?

Cheers guys, I'll leave it then, I'm pretty confident I did them all up pretty tight anyway.d
