225 foot pounds

Think thats tough.....try using a 900# clicker wrench on 600# plus flange studs. First few aren't bad...then they get to be a *****! !

I once had to torque the main mast nut on a chinook (mh-47 helicopter) in the field without a torque multiplier. Had to do it while standing on top of the pylon. A chinook rotor head slobbers oil almost continuously while in operation, so it wasnt just a job, it was an adventure... If I recall correctly, the torque is about 350 lb/ft or so.

I forgot how much it sucks to torque a bolt to 225ftlbs. I put a leveling kit on my truck tonight. The lower strut bolts require a torque spec of 225ftlb. Its especially fun after wrestling the strut assembly back into its spot after the spacer is installed.

back hurts, arms hurt. Job done with minimal cussing.

Heck with that!! Because of a cramped space I had to slide a large cabinet away from the wall using one hand and seiously tweaked my arm & shoulder. Came down with shingles a couple of days later.

I did consider pulling the handle from thw high lift jack. Luckily I didn't need it.

Have torqued several things to 4200 ft. lbs. in the field. Naturally I used a torque multiplier and the input was only 233 ft. lbs. now whatever you used on the multiplier as the back up got interesting. There would be 4200 ft. lbs. on it. Usually used my service truck as back up and its back axle scaled at 21,000 lbs. It would lift the back of the truck bumper about 2 feet. I would be more scared of the socket exploding but luckily nothing went wrong. Proper tools for the right job.

Me too. Now I'm considering letting someone else do it for me!

2013 F150 supercrew.

I'll get some pics when I pick it up later. It's getting an alignment right now.

Buzz on it with a impact then check torque.

I believe they call that the Jesus nut.
Things go terribly wrong when the safety wire isn't installed. On a Huey anyway.
