It starts at 0 for fully tightened then back off 1/8 but where it would be backed off at the 1/2 turn it says its 1/4:confused. Please clarify that its 1/8 turn from fully tightened.
Well i dont have a manual with the car i have, i just recently changed back to my roots of these AE cars, i would break it in somewhere in between 1/8-1/4 out and take note of how it feels before breaking it in. Also i'm sure you know that you will need to re-tighten after the balls groove/seat into the rings. Sometimes diff. tightness can be preference and you may want to run the front tighter then the rear. I cant remember what my old b44 was set at. Sorry i couldn't be more of a help, just dont let them bark. Im gonna go out on a limp here and say 1/8 out should be a close setting tho, just make sure it doesn't feel overly tight with the wheels on, would hate for it to dig into your rings to quickly and ruin em.
