Bikes: Catrike 559 I own some others but they don't get ridden very much.

The torque spec for crank arms is around 30 ft/lbs. That's a lot compared to other bicycle fasteners, That's more than you are likely to produce if you are using a 6 in. Allen key. Since you don't have a torque wrench, imagine a 30 lb. weight hanging on the end of a foot long wrench.
