    TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Factory Torque Spec

    I love my GlowSteps, but they were a little stiff extracting and retracting -- so I loosened all the tread-nuts without reading the manual. 'Cause I'm a take charge kind of guy, see?

    Anyway, now they really retract! Like a waterfall coming down.

    Well I finally went back and read the manual, and there's only four tread-nuts your supposed to adjust to control the stiffness. The other tread-nuts are torqued to a specific load at the factory.

    Anybody know what the proper factory torque should be. I'd like to be able to start from square 1 and adjust the stiffness the way the adjustment was intended.

    Thanks.

    No I don't know that one but I did the same thing. Took me a little while playing with it till I was finnaly able to get them where I was happy. Luckily I had turned each one the same amount. So it was easy to somewhat start over.
