A340 LPSOV actuator replacement

Hi all,

I`ve got a sincere question for you guys:

Imagine you are supposed to replace a Low pressure fuel shutoff valve actuator on an A340.
Would you consult the AMM for this work? The design of the actuator and drive assembly mating surfaces looks fool proof (although it turned out that it is not in fact!), and the required torque value for the v-clamp is quoted on the clamp...
So let me ask you again: Would you check the AMM, wouldn`t you think that a number of people out there do -not- consult the AMM for this job? I am thinking about real world - not text book...!

Regards,
J.V.
