Speed Bleeders are same for all models of liquid cooled boxers. Yes, I know they are three different brake calipers with three different sizes.
Using a torque wrench on ANY fastener that is not clean, dry, new is a recipe for disaster.
I asked if there was a strength differential, not expecting stainless to be stronger than carbon, although 'stronger' is a very vague, non-descriptive term. Certain grades of stainless are more
As for 'Using a torque wrench on ANY fastener that is not clean, dry, new is a recipe for disaster' - great, my point exactly! Speedbleeder recommended a 6 sided wrench, specifically not a socket "as you can't feel anything" (amazing!), and couldn't provide a torque value, and specifically did not recommend a torque wrench. Obviously without said value, using a torque wrench is totally pointless.
