Now I've tightened it up so much I've stripped the threads on the flange... Is there something 'classic' I'm doing wrong or am I just being hamfisted?
I assume that it should be possible to tigten the slipper sufficiently 'by hand' for it to work ok - is that right? The flange and wrench are so narrow it would be pretty difficult to really torque it up hard with it in the car anyway.
Help!

Seeing as no-one else has replied i thought i would.
I remember when we got these many moons ago, there were some slippers that simple would not tightern up enough. We ended up glueing them in order to get them working. I know the rest of the team just used to try another slipper assembly, but obviously that can get a bit costly. Apart from that im afraid i cant really help you on that front.
I'll ask about if no one else replies and ill see what i can come up with for you.
