Can a wrench do this, I would have thought that i need at least a torque wrench upto 600mm long or an inpact wrench Suggestions please
Yes it can, I have one to do the front wheel bearing nuts on my Discovery that goes above that. And yes it's a long one! However you might find you'll only find one in 1" drive. Nasher.
I've got a 0 - 300 Nm 1/2" drive wrench so easily available, bought for rear wheel bearing on my old Lexus
Thanks everyone, i have see 1/2" drives at 600mm long going to 300nm i just wondered if it could be done manually. I see 200 mm version too which I think would be very difficult to do !
I think mine is about 20" long but not hard to generate that torque from memory with that kind of extension
That's the type I have. It's not hard to get to max torque on it provided the part you do up is held still properly. So a wheelnut is easy to do if the wheel doesn't move. Rear axle nut on a stand on your own is a bit of a challenge. Doable though.
Thanks all i thought the maybe it could only be done with a power inpact drive. I guess they would not sell them if they did not but they sell Harleys and motorbikes ;-)
