Hey,

When installing left hand(non drive) cup on cartridge bb on my MTB, how
hard do you torque it down? Do you snug it? Or do you really lean on it?
I'm using a pretty heavy duty 12" adjustable wrench, so I'm kind of
afraid of getting it too snug.

I find that when I really lean on it, the spindle had quite a bit more
resistance when spinning it with my fingers. Is this too tight, should I
lay off a bit?

What I really need is Sheldon Brown 's Tork-Grip
