I did a quick search but came up empty, so:
How tight is right for the two bolts holding the toilet to the flange? The fear of cracking the bottom of the porcelain is pretty high, especially when re-seating with a new wax ring or two. An approximate torque figure?
I recall a GM car service manual that stated the correct torque for a fastener was: "fully driven, not stripped". Hardly an exact figure...
PS: I'm a hack mechanic, hack plumber, hack electrician and hack carpenter so I like to try my hand at anything - I just don't want to break the bog.
