unmanned transport:
Was a torque wrench used during the installation of these hyd lines/B nuts ?
I doubt very much that one was used.
You may be interested to know that the B-nut fitting vendors acknowledge alternative tightening methods - other than the familiar torque system. I worked on an engine that used a wrench arc method - and it was quite successful, after a bit of training of the knucklebuster crews.
