[QUOTE="Pushrod Twin, post: 20332, member: 340"] Remember when using your crows foot to do the calculation below, or cheat & use the torque wrench at right angles to the crows foot. [U](Actual torque required) x (torque wrench length)[/U] (Torque wrench length) + (Length of adaptor) = torque wrench reading to achieve [COLOR=red]actual [/COLOR]torque on fastener or you will over torque them. I know the crows foot is only 1 1/2 inches or so long, measure it for the calc, but it can be the difference between stripped threads or not. (Now that you have probably well finished & been riding the tail off it!! Oh, no, its cold there isnt it? Cheers, R:o [/QUOTE]
