And i dont need no stinkin torque wrench to accurately set a hub nut. The one thats like 300 ft-lbs. A tw that reads thT high is way expensive.
T=ft X lbs. Solve the equation for ft (distance) T/lbs = ft so the torque spec divided by you weight (no cheating) gives you the distance. Now get a breaker bar and measure the distance you calculated on the breaker bar. Put thebreaker bar on the nut at the 3 oclock position and stand on the breaker bar at the calculated distance.
