I broke a screw on the rocker cover when reassembling, impossible to find the screws

Seal change completed thank you very much, the collar was difficult to put back but with a little patience and cutting pliers (the cutting ends allowed the folded part of the collar to pass through) it was done.

Good morning,

I think the torque is 1.6. Can anyone confirm? Thanks

Couple 1mkg, the risk is rather to crush the new seal, therefore leaks…

The newer models have 10mm nuts, not 13mm.
