forddieseldoctor Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 We received our force gauge today. One of the guys in the shop was in the process of reassembling one that he had used the torque wrench to test. I grabbed the force gauge and decided to try it out. I could not physically exert enough force to reach the 850 newtons of force that is required. I'm not a small person either. What has everyone else been doing to manage to get enough push on this stupid little box to reach the required limit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8WA Sman Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Looks like a job for a load bar/spreader bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 NO! What a fucking stupid ass recall for a less than 1% failure rate... on top of the odds that the vehicle is involved in a collision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddieseldoctor Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 I leaned into it against the edge of the counter in parts and I could only get 825 newtons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
