I don't like doing that, plus I don't think the tool is rated for impact. Plus I don't really have an impact

How do you still not have an impact???

I might have the torque wrench at work, I'll check.

I have one, but I don't use it, plus I don't have impact rated sockets.

Thanks. I don't need the wrench right now, I will still have to get the cones. I am just trying to see if someone had one, if I couldn't borrow I would have to take it to a shop.

I have read about someone that made their own "torque wrench", I think they put a drive on the end of a 5 foot bar, and a receiving hole in the end to put their regular torque wrench and they torqued it to 100lbs on their real wrench, so the overall force was 600lbs, because science

I would try to find a torque multiplier for your application at work we torque the bus wheels to 500 ft lbs the wrench is 1in drive by like 5 or 6 ft very awkward to use

I saw those too, but they are as much money as a torque wrench I was thinking about one of those "drives" that you stick in between the socket and a breaker bar that gives you the torque value, but I don't have a 3/4" drive bar and I am pretty sure I would snap my 1/2' drive stuff

Jeg's has got one for $200 or so. A lot of money but *maybe* it's returnable?
