Also, when using a torque wrench - you want the wrench to click somewhere mid-point in the swing/arc that you're using it in. If it clicks as soon as you start the next swing then you're under-torqueing.

Or find someone with a dial indicator torque wrench like this: https://www.zoro.co.uk/shop/hand-too...xoCZdYQAvD_BwE I have one sitting here which I use to correctly torque timing belt tensioners - lost of people use the clicking type, as soon as it has clicked it has lost the setting - so they are the wrong tool to use. |

the trick is just have 2x or more torque wrenches with overlapping ranges.
I've got a 3/8 one and a 1/2 inch one. set it at say 100nm on both and compare

If you have deep pockets get a Digital one as they self calibrate the load cell on start up.
