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? |

Buying a torque wrench from HF. Standing on a breaker bar. Pretty much the same accuracy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

So, if you attached one of these to a 2 foot long breaker bar and pulled till it read 125 lbs. would that equal 250 foot lbs.? Attached thumbnail(s) |

If you got the hook on that scale exactly 24" from the center of the nut, that would be 250 lb-ft. If it was only 23" from the center of the nut, you'd have 250 * 23 / 24, or 240 lb-ft. --DD |
