Reassuring to hear, cheers! Every page I’ve come across when googling “can you assemble a bb without a torque wrench” said “no you’re going to end up using too little force” so I just figured how difficult it was to get the damn things off in the first place and applied an equivalent amount of strength the other way.. I did grease both threads and spindle (just a smidge) but so did my LBS the last time round so looking forward to taking it out the next time around. Presumably I shouldn’t go back and loosen the things?
