[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 104439, member: 5302"] I first used a soil pipe 'no-hub' T-shaped torque wrench with the 3/8ths socked removed and the tip squared to hold a 1/4th inch drive hex bit. These wrenches ratchet at 60-inch pounds and it's about impossible to over torque with them. Works fine on action screws, but limited to only about 45 to 70-inch pounds. I knew someone years ago that dug out the sealant locking the set screws at the ends of the handle on one, then adjusted it for 45 or 50 inch-pounds. 1 newton-meter = 8.851 inch-pounds [/QUOTE]
