AD Disc Brake Conversion Help Needed

But you know how it is if you go just 1 turn too many...SNAP!

I guess that's what led to my confusion; I don't really think of cast iron as "spreadable".
Thanks for the elaboration. It's a good trick to remember.

I thought the same thing but Frank proved otherwise. After we torqued them down, we pulled out the bolt and all was well.

An old flat rate trick. Snapon actually sells a tool to do it, but my way is cheaper.

I starved when I tried to work flat rate.   :oops: Found another way to make a living and ended up happier twirling wrenches for my hobby.
