[QUOTE="brian b, post: 68532, member: 2797"] [ QUOTE ] You need and inch pound torque wrench to accuratly measure the torque applied if it's in inch pounds and a foot pound torque wrench if it's in foot pounds. Check out some local parts stores for some deals on them or go to harborfrieghttools.com and they have them at a resonable price and dont forget to get a set of torx and allen sockets to fit the torque wrench or it will be usless. Thats the method myself and others use for checking torque but there may be another method that works equally well and I don't know about it.
