Oh math/physics/engineer gurus..........Here's my question....
Goodparts CVJs specify that the 1-1/4" axle nut be torqued to 220-250 lbs.
My audible click-type torque wrench maxes out at 150 lbs.
It's been suggested that 160 lb me standing on the end of an 18" breaker bar
would exert about that torque. I like this idea.
Richard Good told me that setting the wrench at 125 lbs and putting a 24"
pipe over it would yield about the right force.
Then I found these two formulas http://tinyurl.com/97faw7 &
http://tinyurl.com/774vwv which appear to work math-wise but where does the
extension go? Between the nut and the drive end of the wrench or can you
just slide a pipe over the wrench handle to extend it?
I've also heard that most shops would just hit it with their impact wrench
and call it a day.
These are CVJs and the 1-1/4" nut is an all steel grade 8 locking nut.
So....what's the best way to accomplish this....and buying a $200 torque
wrench is not the answer though I may just rent one if necessary.
Thanks
