It's possible to over-tighten your Dust Boot top plate onto your spindle. We've had some break because they are over-torqued. We've improved the design but suggest you use a torque-limiting screwdriver or wrench. Here are a few options below:
Our suggested torque spec is 16 in•lb or 1.8 NM
Do not torque over 18 in•lb or 1.8 Nm.
Adjustable Options on Amazon

- Bike Tool Torque Wrench – 2-20 Nm (also 1/4" Phillips socket) - $56
