Rave says 490 NM or 360ft /Lb, how many home mechanic would own a torque wrench to those settings. ( unless they owned caterpillar tractors and the like)
where would some one hire a muther like that?

The stopper is home made – 5 minute job cut out of a piece of plate with a plasma. The thing about these bolts is that my rattle gun undoes these with ease but I wouldn’t trust it to do it up.

The likes of COATS would probably hire these.

BTW the manual recommends to replace the bolt once removed.

Fish scale, lever. Newtons of force are divided by 10 (near enough) to get kg (force) and applied to a lever 1m long. If your lever is 0.5m long use 490x2 / 10 or 98kg at 0.5m.

Hi Erich I was referring to the axle hub on D2s a throw away as bearing is built in, the retaining nut needs that torquing

It's been some time but when faced with a similar dilema a few years back, I hired a Torque Multiplier from Coates. Don't know if they still hire them but worth a shot???
