|
|
I need to tighten the nut on my front pulley, in the Bentley it says 94-108 ft.lb. Now the torque wrench I borrowed from my neighbor is inch pounds. Is it as simple a conversion as X 12???? If so, my wrench only goes up to 750. |

You will need a bigger torque wrench. _________________ Society is like stew. If you don't keep it stirred up, you end up with a lot of scum on the top!--Edward Abbey

That is cheaper than borrowing it from your neighbor.
I wouldn't build Formula 1 engines with it, (maybe Nascar ), but it is good enough for the home hobbiest. _________________ Society is like stew. If you don't keep it stirred up, you end up with a lot of scum on the top!--Edward Abbey

Their wrenches and stuff are a little cheesy, but you don't feel bad when you have to heat one and bend it to make a special tool.
Also, you don't have to take it back when it breaks. At the price of gas now days, just buy 2 sets to start with. _________________ Society is like stew. If you don't keep it stirred up, you end up with a lot of scum on the top!--Edward Abbey

i´m using harbor freight die-grinder since 4 years. I paid $10 for a small one and a little bit more for the bigger size when they were on sale. So far they still work and nobody steals them at work too |
