I've ordered 3 NEMA 23 covers afew days ago.

I've read the instructions several times.

But there is a step in there that says to remove each screw individualy from the motor and shorten it.

This has me concerned.

It just says to tighten and replace the screw after its shortened.

How much torque?

It's a LONG screw compared to its diameter, could I snap it?

What if the screws wind up with different torques? will it ruin my motor?

There is 2.5mm of thread depth available, would I be better off shortening the cover screws?

Am I just being a bit neurotic about the whole thing?
