FT145 Torque

Guys,

What is the torque for the FT145 external transmission filter? Couldn't find it in my owner's manual.

Thanks,

Steve

SNUG--just make sure it doesn't leak. I'm sure it has a torque value somewhere, but it's NOT that critical. They are sometimes tough to get off and may require an impact, but it's really not on that tight IIRC.

Mine required an impact to remove. As you said NPCC, I put it back on snug w/ a 1/2 inch drive ratchet. No leaks. No real need to torque on this one (I do torque the fuel and oil filter caps BTW)

No need to realy torque it as it seals with an "o" ring not a gasket, the fuel and oil filters on the jet engines I work on a seals the same way and we just have to hand tighten.

The stock oil and fuel caps are made of plastic making torqing more important. Also easier to crossthread.
