Re: IML: '60 Height Adjustment

["Rob van der Es" <R.vdes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Eric,

I have studied the FSM but couldn't find the correct torque resistance to 
find out what the torque resistance should be to prevent the adjusters from 
turning by them selves..

In my FSM it is only stated the adjusters should be replaced if the require 
more then 270 Nm (thats 200 foot pounds) to turn them around
Well, I certainly took 270 Nm but I can't find that torque resistance that 
you mentioned in your message.

How much should it be normally ?

Anyway, I am glad my Imperail is sitting pround once more :)

Thanks again,

Robert
