Llama Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Oh linging. This is defiantly one of those tools you need. Even the little electrical adaptors are good and cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Agree. The satisfaction gained by doing everything up to spec is great. I need a new one, I broke mine jumping on the end trying to undo hubnuts on mrs' ae110/need breaker bar too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrical adaptors? You've lost me Oh and Andy, I have one you can borrow. But it's old and not one of these new fancy ones. Still works though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 protip- when using a torque wrench, stop leaning on it when it goes 'click' every tyre shop i go to, the tyre shop monkeys are all OMG MUST USE TORQUE WRENCH OR WHEELS WILL FALL OFF, when it goes click they keep leaning on it/give it another 1/8th of a turn. if they arent going to pay any attention to the correct torque setting, just use a rattlegun or a powerbar to snap the studs off with.

In the end i had to replace 3 studs on that hub cos they fucked them all trying to do up 3 to spec insted of 4 made me angry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
