Removal of the original hot end was 5 screws. 2x on the fan, 3x on the hotbed itself.
One of the screws on the hotend was extra long. I didn’t expect that.

One question: the specs state you need to tighten the flow tech nozzles to 15 pound/inches of torque.
I’ve never been good about not over or under tightening things. I was thinking about picking up a torque wrench or digital torque gauge but I can’t find one; almost everything is waaaaay over that torque.
Any ideas? Or not not worry about it?

@linux_mclinuxface Wera has a torque screwdriver with a range of 0.1-3.0 N⋅m. 15 in-lb is 1.7 N⋅m, I think.
I use one on my nozzles.
@linux_mclinuxface Generally screw threads are close to being torqued correctly if you get them finger tight and then 1/4 turn. But that said, there are low range torque wrenches, I have one for SMA connectors
