Morning chaps and chum with tight nuts

That is equilivant to the force needed to open my wallet

[springhead] 12/11/2017 08:02

Morning all, wow, that sounds a lot Jonck, you would have to jump on an extension bar to create that tightness!! Are you sure your calcs are right?

ig, Rear hub nuts on Motorhome. Spec says 57.3 to 63.3 daNm which is 422.6 to 466.9 ft.lbs. Anyone like to guess what torque is needed to undo? A lot more I expect.

[ignoble] 11/11/2017 21:44

It is a huge amount of torque you are after
What tightens to that degree ?

Cylinder head bolts about 100 psi
and that is scary tightening to that
extent

[ignoble] 11/11/2017 21:42

If it is wenches you are after
FFP will definitely have answers

[jonjonck] 11/11/2017 21:36

gonzo, indeed I do, I say " ya stupid fec%%en wrench."
Still not found any proper information on strength of different size wrenches.

Evening all, the big mac was passing and asked if you chat to your torque wrench JJ ?

[ignoble] 11/11/2017 18:03

Afternoon ig. Your my man!

[jonjonck] 11/11/2017 17:32

One for FFP. Do you know what torque a 1/2" square drive breaker bar will take on the square lug. I am thinking 300 ft.lbs will be the limit and I need 450 ft.lbs. Help?

Could get a 3/4 inch breaker bar I s'pose, and a new 41mm socket.

Afternoon Chaps
I am sure you will work out
If you need to talk about it
I'm your man

Just walked 14 holes of the golf course
whilst son whacked it round
Surprisingly pleasant

Gooooood Morningggg GenTellllmennn,

Flippen cold again. Not going to get many outside jobs done today. I shall stay in and try and work out how I can get 600Nm torque accurately using the tools I have. I roughly guess this is my weight at end of a 4 foot wrench bar.

[jonjonck] 10/11/2017 16:03

I am being silly now!

[jonjonck] 10/11/2017 16:03

I NO.


Ig Nut Off.

[ignoble] 10/11/2017 15:25

Nut Off is my middle name !

[jonjonck] 10/11/2017 15:22

You are clearly very skilled at getting a nut off with a hammer.

[ignoble] 10/11/2017 14:28

Easy Peasy
Have the perfect tool to hand

A hammer ...who needs a torque wrench

[jonjonck] 10/11/2017 14:26

While you are removing the lower suspension arm to untangle the anchor you can fit some new rubber stabiliser bushes I have ... preventative maintenance.

[ignoble] 10/11/2017 13:23

Blimey ... had a butterfly in the garden.
Ridiculous for mid November

Sorry chaps , glorious sunshine

The Motorhome will be returned as soon as the anchor is untangled from the front axle

[gateside] 10/11/2017 09:33

Snow showers up here this morning!

[jonjonck] 10/11/2017 09:23

Good Morning.

Hope I am going to get my Motorhome back in one piece!
