Default Re: Neat link for torque (tools) calculators>>>

I haven't assembled a motor since the last iron sbc I did for my little run-about. I guess God does watch out for fools! I always thought that my beam type T/Q wrenches close enough to be good for the task. I must have been lucky.

gbrtng, I hear ya about some of the tire places. I have had cases where they were gonna attack the plactic covers with an impact gun & if I wasn't watching....I had another shop cross thread three lug nuts on one wheel....I just gave up after that. Now I found this small gas station from the old days, this gas station actually uses their bays for mechanic work & not to sell soda pop! He does all my mounting & dismounting and he even knew about the C4's LTPWS sensors and how to do a dismount without breaking the sensors. I found this guy thru TireRack's list of installers.
