43Nm / 32Lbs Ft, use a 8mm Allen socket

Clean the bolt threads first, apply anti-seize, ( steel into alloy=not good )

nip hand tight first, then say 30Nm, then 43Nm

mark Allen head with marker pen, but you'll find they won't move

No need to use Loctite thread locker

:twisted: is the answer, 'tighten 'em up 'til they go slack, then back 'em off half-a-turn'? LOL

It`s OK now I`ve found out now, thanks for ALL the help (NOT), maybe if I`d asked how far my nipples stuck out (bleed of course) I might have got a few pages worth of replies ;)

Talking torque - whats the best torque wrench to buy? The guy in mon local Halfords reckons a 20lbs/ft should do it but I see higher settings here. Any offers?

I got a Halfords Torque wrench and it's a top bit of kit - goes upto about 40lbs/ft I think. Only thing I can't check with it is the rear axle nut and clutch nut. They came second in the Ride Magazine test for quality and value.

Well I did see a hell of a lot of bits and bobs on flebay and it got me to thinking, just what do I need for tinkering with my bike? I don't know about you, but I find the little toolkit Ducati supply somewhat limited in its scope.
