Like Brett stated - it's about 6in pounds
Which is 2 pounds on 3 inch arm. I had my rubber mullet(2lb) resting on
small(~3in) wrench to get approximate result. And yes, it's pretty tight if you
feel it by hand.
I did try to go 4 turns to any side and was ending up with tools snapping on to
cams nicely afterwords. So.. Conclusion is. It can be done by hand. Play that
crank have when locked with pin, or cams have when locked with tools probably
greater then amount of adjustment between 0.5 and 1Nm.
Did 1440 degree turn and everything snapped back into place.
It looks like I'm good with this.
Brett is invaluable resource to this group.
Thanks!

Ivan,
Can't you just go to the lowest setting on your torque wrench and adjust
the point on the lever arm where you apply the pressure to get the 0.7Nm?

No they don't all have language like that, although I observe a definite
anecdotal trend in that direction.
Note that insurance coverage can vary from state to state even with the same
company, so it's risky to generalize.

At the time I was looking at Tom's car, I first asked my insurer (State
Farm) and they said they don't do stated value insurance. They wanted to
insure the car as an '82 528e (per the VIN), which at the time was worth
slightly more than a buck three-eighty. I asked Tom who his insurance
company was - he told me (I forget now who it was) and I called their local
agent. They said they offer stated value coverage to long-time customers
as an added service, but they would not offer it to a new customer who
walked in off the street. Then I called a local CCA member who runs an
insurance brokerage, and they could only come up with something like
classic/specialty car insurance - I could state the value but not drive
more than about 2500 miles a year, more or less.
At that point I gave up. I'm sure there is a company in CA who will insure
it for what it really is, but it was taking me longer to find them than I
had available.

On the other hand, why bother? Personally I would insure it for whatever the
insurance company says it is, and just drive it.
If god forbid, the worst happens, one could just part it out, and hopefully
recover most of the difference. Presumably no one
would steal it, it doesn't look like a rare car. And, we're not talking the
cost of a new M5, anyway! Think of it as a chance
to drive an M5 with cheap coverage.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Someone threw a garbage can through the rear window of
my 1993 204k mile 525i. I'm thinking about taking the
insurance settlement and selectively fixing things
myself. I can't find glass and trim parts at the
typical on-line discount parts places. I'm looking
for suggestions on sources. Also, how difficult is
the glass replacement - for someone who has never
replaced a windshield or rear window before?
