I recently changed my oil and the service manual says to torque the filter cover and plug to 14.5 ft/lbs of torque. However, it was getting so tight, that the bike was moving and I was not hearing the "click" from my wrench. It is a fairly new wrench (only used a handful of times) and was wondering, on these parts, if I tighten them hand-tight, then just give them both a little "oomph" extra, would that be enough to hold them in-place?
