FSB torque specs question

Hey I know this'll get "seen" here a bit more quickly so my apologies in advance.

Looking at the FSB manual through NICO forums, the torque specs are listed and I'm assuming they're the LAST number in the parentheses. So you have usually a larger number first, then the parentheses, a smaller number then the torque number in foot pounds, correct?

In the menu, open "GI", general information, see page 5 in the symbols table for the symbols explanations and the torque units. The numbers in the parentheses are torque specs in metric and non-metric units.

Also, pay attention to the color of the torque symbol, white for ft-lb, black for inch-lb; it's all there.

The first number should be Newtons, the second kg-mm and the third ft-lb.

You guys rock. Couldn't find the guide but went by other posts where specific torque values were mentioned. Glad to know I used the right specs.

Click on the NICO link and load the pdf. Click the little square symbol in the upper left to open the sidebar. This loads thumbnails of each page. Click on page 5. The symbology is at the bottom pf the page and the first entry is your torque symbol explanation. Better read it because there is a white wrench on a black background and a black wrench on a white back ground. One is ft-lb, the other is in-lb.

Agreed. I missed that he wrote of the two symbols.

Yeah, you really don't want to tighten the brake bleeder screws to 70 ft lbs
