how tight do you thighten the radiator bled screw? - 1990 525 (previous wrong part)

I bled the cooling system.

After the bleeding and while it was running warm (1/2 way mark), I saw it still let some steam out of the bleed screw.

Did I tighten it enough?

How tight should it be?

Any ideas on creative tools to tighten it?

In the past, I tightened an old one too tight and it stripped - cost $50 for fealer to fix.

Many thanks!

for the plastic one on the radiator, it has a rubber o-ring under it so it doesn't need a lot of ass just snug, the one on the thermostat housing, it's a tapered seat and also doesn't need to be killed about at tight as you can get it with your wrist only will do. remember you can always go tighter but it's hard to back up after it gets loose again
