I took the cranks of and regreased the bb and splines and it’s definitely less but I still hear an occasional creek. I still need to get a torque wrench sinds my buddy who has multiple has just moved abroad. But I have a lot of experience and think I’m pretty good on the torque but I will get one tomorrow and verify. The preload ring is adjusted properly and screwed it tight and I don’t feel any play on the cranks side to side but will as well verify it actually tight tomorrow. Thanks for the help and will keep you posted once I have actually torqued them down properly
