Torque wrench

[s2driveruk]

Hi, does anyone have a big torque wrench i could borrow to do the cambelt?

[s2driveruk]

Bump...anyone? Happy to pay for postage naturally

Is there an agricultural engineer anywhere near you? That's where I borrowed mine from and cost a pack of beer

This one just makes it if you are still struggling. It just short of the recommended torque or you could do 200nm plus 180 degrees. I have two of the smaller Teng wrenches and they are nice.

I was thinking of getting one of these. If you can't borrow one I might be interested it buying it from you after you have used it

Yeah i was looking at this then was looking at a norbar too...

You only need a bit of maths and common sense. My 70kg weight on the end of a 600mm breaker bar ~ 400nm
F=MA
70 x 9.81 = 686n
x 0.60m = 412nm

Incidentally I’d say 200 + 180deg is a lot more than 400nm on this bolt.

I've always used the 200Nm + 180 degrees, but have never managed to get the full 180 degrees even with a long length of scaffold bar. You can get 200Nm + 90 degrees and then it gets very tight. I've never had one work loose with this method and replace the bolt each time. You will require a 3/4" socket and breaker bar. 1/2" will shear easily doing this bolt up.

Why not get a number of people together to chip in and buy it ? And then just use it when you need it amongst themselves? Obviously you will need to pay postage whenever the next person wants to use it ? I'd be happy to contribute. I know on other forums where a guy rents out specialist tools with a full holding deposit.

I’ve only ever seen these schemes end in tears

Alex you only weigh 70kg.. You jammy got.. Ha..

[Monkeymagic]

Personally I've got a 1inch breaker and matching 27mm socket. I got 200nm on easily and could not get 180 degrees on.
My car was moving on the axle stands.. Never had one work loose..

I also undo them with my milwaukee impact. Zings them straight out no issue.

This

I only managed 90 degrees after the 200nm (I weigh 70kg too) and it was ****ing tight. No need for any more IMO

David, I have a 27mm socket and 3/4 inch breaker bar if you want to borrow them...

[s2driveruk]

Thanks folks...i am north of 70kgs so thats not the issue I remember just how much of a non event it was getting the desired torque with the right tool and wanted to achieve it that way again.

I got myself a very large breaker bar too for this job
