F"ck...might have taken it too far

Hey Guys,
while torquing up the scat gland nut, i heard some "crack" at the end...
i hope it was the wrench.... Is it possible to break these gland nuts or crank?
I used a 1 m torquewrench and put all my weight (80kg) and some more on it 

Please tell me i dont have to tear it apart again

Try taking it off, got nothing to lose. Check the gland nut. I use Berg gland nuts w/o no problems.

I will be suprised if you have managed to break the Scat gland nut. Beside, it would be loose if it broke because it will immediately loose its torque. I have, in order to get my wedgemate to mate, used 2000nm on a Scat nut once without any issues at all and the same crank is in my engine today. 650 - 900nm is quite common as far as I know.

I sincerely hope you did not hurt your crank.

thanks guys,
i checked if it had lost its torque, but the "head" was still tight...
the crank is a dpr, so good qualitiy....
i might be getting paranoid
i will get teh KEP off today and put my full weight on it again...
i guess it will be ok if the head doesnt fall off

Good. Usually with a press fit on you will get a "PING" - "CHING" or "BONK" sound   when flywheel is where it should be. To make the job easier you can take a hammer and knock on the 38mm pipe, then try the wrench, knock again, wrench.. you get my point.

Thanks Kalle,
you are putting my mind to rest
