Transfer case question
I changed the fluid in my transfer case for the first time yesterday. Everything went ok, but I'm wondering if I put the drain plugs in too tight. Do I need to get back under there and loosen them up or should it be ok?
Thanks,
Phil

You need a torque wrench to measure torque. Really should have one if you're going to do your own maintenance. A good 1/2" torque wrench as this will come in handy with keeping the death wobble goblin away...

I will definitely get one for the next time I do it, but what about for now? I really don't want to take that skid plate off again but I don't want anything to get damaged either.
