Torque Fitting
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Subaru Forester and 2000 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Using a back-up wrench in conjunction with a calibrated torque wrench (A), torque the connection to the midrange of the specification.
After completion of torquing, use a clean shop towel to remove any excess oil from the connection or any oil that may have dripped on the vehicle body or other parts.
CAUTION:
If a leak is suspected after torquing, do not retighten or retorque the connection. Instead, disassemble the connection, remove the O-ring, and inspect the O-ring, threads, joints and seating surfaces.
