I'm reassembling the front hubs on my '98 D1. According to the manual, the swivel pin preload on non-ABS models should be measured with a spring scale. And the preload on ABS models should be measured with a torque wrench which can measure 2-3 Nm and a special tool which fits on the brake hose bracket.

My D1 has ABS but I don't have the special tool, neither of my torque wrenches go down to 2 Nm, and I would rather not pull the break line from the caliper to remove the brake hose bracket.

Can the swivel pin preload on ABS models be accurately checked using the non-ABS method?
