I'm posting on a I pod. I dont know how to put pics on. I'll figure it out one day. Starting assembly. I'm having trouble torquing bolt. Other components obstruct me. I'm a firm believer in the torquing process. If you use extensions will it throw off the torque reading?? Anyone?? Thanks.

yes it will throw the reading off. the extension allows for extra flex. the bolt you're torquing, is a set number like 75 or a range i.e. 65-75. If it's a range just torque it to the upper number, if it's not then give an extra 3-5lbs or so. shouldn't be a huge deal.
