Hi all, May be a stupid question but just about to put the new nut on my rear wheel axle and discovered the torque setting is 340ft lbs or 460 Nm. I thought i had a really good torque wrench but discovered it only goes to 150ft lbs. Are there any genius mathematicians out there who can calculate my weight of 13 stone (fully clothed) as im not doing this naked.....balancing on the end of a 1.5 foot torque wrench. Or do i just jump up and down on it until it doesnt move anymore!!! thanks

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Seem you need a load of 226lbs [just over 16 stones] at the end of your 1.5ft torque wrench which should give you a turning moment of 340 ft/lb. Hope that is correct and hope it helps! Ray
Ahh, but you didn't allow for jumping! [ ] Or, looking at it another way, if you are 13 stone, you need a bar 1.87 feet long.
Excellent, thanks guys. i think a little jump may add the extra force required.
A heavy duty Breaker bar is not expensive. You may need a metre one to get the old NUT off. Then mark 1.8 Metres on the bar and stand on that part too line it up Halfords Professional tools are REALLY good
Might need to get one now. Job is done but i now have a broken torque wrench. Obviously must have jumped too hard
