I found when replacing the soft lines from the accumulators to the struts on
my 500SEL that the torque specs for the banjo bolts in the FSM were
ridiculously low.  I was using new copper washers, but still had to tighten
the heck out of them to get them not to leak.  Probably about 50 lb-ft
versus the M-B spec of 20 or so.
