The more interesting question is now many of you actually own or have access to the necessary torque wrench and or torque multiplier? I personally own a 600 lb/ft torque wrench but have never had the need for a torque multiplier. Maybe once... but That's not a tool I am buying to use once!

 

We have a couple of 3' yoke clamps that either go around the yoke or bolt to it and rest against the frame or spring. I wonder if they would bend under that kind of force?

Every dealership I have worked at has had a 4x Torque multiplier. As Jim would say......Neener neener neener. However, it is mighty nice to have one when I need it.

 

By the way, I use a really big pipe wrench to hold the flange.

I just did one last week. I used a companion flange holding tool that was bolted to the flange and a 3.3:1 torque mulitplier. I had a other tech hold the holding tool and I turned the torque wrench with all my might.

I feel the need to confess here. With my biggest torque wrench and the touque multiplier, the nut only got tightened to 825ft/lbs. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

we got a 4x torque multiplier from a truck shop,we did not have a holding tool so I made one out of a part of a broken leaf spring, I looked one up on snap on and there

only around $500 that's not too bad?
