It is very easy.

It is also imperative that the camwheel bolt is properly tightened so it doesn't come loose.

Think I will do a torque test on my test head to come up with a solid number.

I thought spec was 30 ft/lbs?

As preventative measure I wanted to retorque mine to make sure it wasn't coming loose, so did a search and iirc numbers I found were 30 ft/lbs.

Turns out mine wasn't loose, but I felt better knowing it was good.

Bump to know what the proper torque should be.

I've got this leak and would like to know if its 30 or 36 pound feet!

You'd probably break the bolt around 75ft lbs.

Great video. The O-ring is part 91301-PCX-003. 16.3x1.5mm

Torque per the Service Manual is 36 lb-ft.

I replaced that o-ring on my previous s2k and torqued to 36 ft/lbs. I sold the car and after a couple years I heard from the same guy that cam wheel had dropped down and destroyed the motor. I also heard he boosted it. I always wondered if it was due to that cam wheel bolt or maybe something else he did. I was thinking how much more TQ can that bolt take.

36 ft-lbs is surely enough. There are other things that can cause camwheel damage, I am very doubtful it came loose.
