The solution was a nut driver with built in torque limiter. Something like this (which goes to 60 in-pounds):

The correct torque is lighter than you'd think by "feel".

Thanks for the heads up on the hose watch. I have a couple crappy clamps on my bike right now.

Honestly maybe don't use that other clamp one with yellow tool. That I got at Home Depot. The clamp is actually too tight so if you go that route I would make sure it is the right size. I know Jake has talked about these before.

I would use these if can't get the OEM ones. I see they are on DennisKirk.
