Re: Torque setting
Pinched from samba and I since had it saved for doing my own Hub nuts-
"If anyone is curious on how to get an accurate torque on assembly without a torque wrench that goes that high, the answer is simple. Divide the torque spec in ft lbs by your weight in lbs and place a mark on the cheater pipe that many feet from the fulcrum (nut). Then orient the cheater so that pressure is placed on it with it horizontal. Stand on the cheater at the mark (no hands). For example if the torque spec is 369 ft. lbs and you weight 170 lbs, then 369/170 = 2.17 feet. convert .17 feet to inches and you get 2.04. So, place your mark 2 feet two inches from the center of the nut. With the bar horizontal, that is actually a more accurate torque than one can achieve with any version of torque wrench, provided the the force of your weight is applied accurately to the mark.
