If you look closely at the shift levers there are 2 small punched dots you line up with each other. If your going to be doing your own work a torque wrench is essential. Shop manual is also a big help. I got mine on eBay.

Good catch Fatman. The old link is dead and the new one for the 2005 1600 Nomad looks the same as the one I downloaded from the old link.
I like the downloaded version because you can just print a few pages for the bench as you work.

Update: Ok so I bought a torque wrench, followed the instructions in the maintenance manual and the advice online, every thing was going great. Replaced the seal, put the slave cylinder cover back on, set my torque wrench to 61 lbs and began to tighten the bolts listening for the click from the wrench when I reached the torque setting.
After thinking "Man this is getting pretty tight I hope this torque wrench works", I heard a CLICK. Moved on to the next bolt and same thing heard a "CLICK". Turns out that click I heard was both bolts snapping. Luckily they snapped off in a way that I was able to use some vice grips to extract them. Went to the dealer today to pick up some new bolts which will not arrive until late Wednesday. Anyway turns out my torque wrench was FEET LBS not INCH LBS, so that makes a difference. Either way it was frustrating, fun and a definite learning experience. I hope to have everything back bolted on with the right torque wrench and be back on the road Wednesday evening. |

Man, ain't it a drag being on the wrong end of the learning curve? I did the same thing on a cars water pump bolts. Just bought my first pneumatic drill and had the torque setting way to tight. Snapped two bolt heads off quick and clean before I realized something jest ain't right! Don't give up on it, your on the home stretch.

Ouch, I am glad you were able to get them out of there so not much harm. For inch pounds, divide by 12 to get the equivalent foot pounds.
A lot of wrenches that only register foot pounds are not very accurate for light work. You can usually tell by the size of the bolt. Small bolt or a bolt in a rubber bushing is usually a warning to take it easy.
