I've discovered that my torque wrench only goes up to 160 ft lbs. I need another 50 ft lbs to lock up the rear drive shafts into the wheel bearing hub.
I have an angle gauge and was wondering if it is possible to convert the remaining 50 ft lbs into degrees for the angle gauge? |

I bought a high range torque wrench from HF for 65 bucks with one of those 20% off coupons. Not super cheap, but less expensive and scary than losing a wheel at speed.
