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.

Yes, multiply by 12.

You will need a bigger torque wrench.

I use my 1/2" drive torque wrench for that range.

That is cheaper than borrowing it from your neighbor.
I wouldn't build Formula 1 engines with it, (maybe Nascar Twisted Evil ), but it is good enough for the home hobbiest.

There is one across town.

I bought some supplies there before - sandpaper, etc..
Most of their tools looked very scary to me but I can see buying something you only need to use a few times (before it breaks anyway).

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. Laughing

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 Laughing
