I agree with you and that’s what I was pretty much saying is reaching the that set point the click or beep going past that pretty much alleviates what the torque wrench is meant for.
I think we are misunderstanding each other. I believe you are saying to get to the for example 50 pounds with the torque wrench set at 50 lbs it would only take 25 pounds of bodily force with the cheater to get to that 50lbs. I was saying no matter what size cheater bar you use if the torque...
I want to make sure we are on the same page. Let’s say you torque one of your lug nuts to 50 pounds with a torque wrench and then with that same torque wrench set at the same 50 pounds and a 2 foot cheater it will go to around 100 pounds.
Unless Techun was talking about a normal 1/2” or 3/4” ratchet or breaker bar. I might have misunderstood at thought he was talking about a torque wrench.
That makes total sense with a plain wrench the longer the cheater the more force as there is nothing stopping you from reaching a certain poundage. With a torque wrench it will stop you at a certain poundage. for example with a plain wrench and a 6 foot cheater you could reach let’s say 3-400...
I have seen this somewhere before I do not understand why you only have to go to 175 lbs with a 2 foot cheater. Yes it will be easier to get to 175 lbs but that does not change that the wrench is still stopping at 175 lbs instead of 350 lbs could someone explain.
I bought this set which will work and they are 8” long and it is the 5/16 one. I would just like to have a wrench that fits hole and arch of the adjuster. They have to make one that fits what’s weird is I talked to a guy at Accutune and he said his 2.5 preload wrench fit perfect and the Backup...
The pin is not the problem in fits in the hole just won’t go in all the way because of the arch of the wrench not sitting flush with the adjusting collar. I think what bothers me the most is Fox can’t throw in an a wrench that cost under a $100 with coilovers costing around $5k
To those of you that have the 2.5 elite coilovers on your Broncos have you had any success on finding the correct Spanner wrench. I purchased a 2.5 preload wrench does not fit flush then bought the 3.0 sits flush but pin in wrench is to big for whole on preload adjuster then bought 398-00-370...
I’m having my MIC Top replaced tomorrow under warranty and I only have 145 miles on it. It’s suppose to be a revised one what ever that means. I agree with that website it should be warrantied for 5 years.
