hercules,

They turn anticlockwise to loosen, but are VERY tight. As much as 500NM or 370 lbs/ft

hercules,

You will need a 3/4 inch drive 46mm socket and bar with a length of scaffold tube or similar, or.......

to undo and a big torque wrench to refit correctly.

I don't have a big one! So I work out where to stand on the scafold pole to achieve the correct torque. But I have to go on to converter thingy on the internet to turn my 13 Stone at X feet into theem foriegn units. :roll:
