What do you torque the back two bolts too? I have a 150lb torque wrench but my instruction said 200 to 220lb and that seems high?

No I think the instructions said like 100 for the 2 smaller bolts and the one big bolt in the back is the 220 pounds. Those are only like half inch grade 5 bolts. Deff don't wanna put to much pressure on them.

just use the supplied wrench an tighten it very snug, don't kill it. The supplied wrench is relatively short to prevent you from over tightening. There is no torque spec as far as I know.

Forward torque is 200-950 lb ft. Reverse is 1250 lb ft. I would lightly use the first click (lowest) for tightening lugs. Then check with torque wrench.

I don't know, but I had to put a cheater bar on mine, (about 3.5ft overall), to remove a crankshaft bolt.Supposedly torqued to 310lbs/ft.

Yen D. I could try to explain it to you, but if you look it up on you tube, you will get some quality instructions with step by step instructions with warnings. I highly reccomend this video as this is what I used my very first time. You will need a 6" adjustable wrench and 2 pieces of 1/2" steel rod that are 15" long each. Please watch the video as this will keep you safe and meet your installation needs. Good luck and have a great day.

I'll be super honest - I used a drill and the torx bit and just tightened them until they wouldn't go any further. I've periodically checked them, but they are all still tight tight. I didn't bother with a torque wrench.

I called the factory. They eliminated the 3/8 drive (model now ends with an "a") and went to a cast design for more strength. The problem they addressed is the gorillas out there overtorqueing, which would break out the 3/8" drive part. If people would learn to use a torque wrench, this wouldn't be a problem. As an engineer, I can say they did the right thing. While a little more inconvenient, it more importantly also won't break.

there is no torque adjustment in either direction. In the operator manual that came with it is tells you the following statements "Do not tighten the lug nuts with the impact wrench. Excessive torque may cause damage. Use a torque wrench to check the lug nuts are tightened to manufacturer specs." They want you to use the lug wrench that came with the vehicle so you do not over or under tighten the lugs. Also keep in mind that if the lug nuts are overtightened to start with this torque wrench may not loosen them. I only bought this torque wrench because I just had hip and knee surgery and thought it may help me out in an emergency. I never had to use it so I can't comment on that but I tried it in my garage and it worked. I loosened one on each of my 2 vehicles and that is all. It may have loosened more but I can't tell you for sure. I put road service through my insurance company on both my vehicles just to be sure. Hope this helps DMD

As another person answered, it is best to break the nuts free first with a breaker bar and finish by tightening with a torque wrench. This tool has a maximum 1,650lb/in of torque, which converts to 137lb/ft. Most 1/2" impact wrenches (this is an impact driver not wrench) have in the neighborhood of 300-400 lb/ft of torque. Of course, pneumatic impact wrenches can have well over 500lb/ft.

Though I'm not sure about the actual torque produced I know it took a very large nut off the my lawn mowers engine which was impossible to get with a standard wrench. I also haven't encountered anything on my Excursion that it won't take care of.

The one I got needed adjusting. I suggest that you loosen the bolts. Start with a 1/8 or 1/4 turn until the joint moves. You do not want it to move freely, the friction is what will keep it where you want. You may need to also use a little WD-40 spray lubricant. Just do not over use.

I don't know the exact torque value, lets just say it's good for light work and tight spaces which is why I got it. If you need heavier torque, I suggest you purchase a butterfly impact gun, flexable and easy to use. Assuming you have compressed air, beyond that, you would need a standard impact driver for the tough ones, and impact bits.

I used it for changing tires on a light SUV. I broke the lug nuts free with a breaker bar and the Bosch did the rest. When tightening I used the Bosch and then finished with a torque wrench set to 105 ft-pound. Most of the nuts required less than 1/4 of a turn to finish. All in all very impressive.

NO. YOU WILL DAMAGE THE TORQUE WRENCH. Buy a breaker bar if you need to loosen something.

Torque wrench...I suggest just buying another and having both laying around. If you decided to change it yourself, put it on the truck, then use the torque wrench to get the bolt off...truck is pretty sturdy and won't go anywhere...unless you have a shop with a good vice. Also...put a towel over anything like a chrome bumper so you don't ding it if the wrench goes flying...Make sure to get some locktight when you put the new ball on.Walmart has em cheap.

It maybe because its torque range is listed from 200-900. If you aren't using torque limiting extensions there is a risk of twisting the studs off or the nut could be so tight that a person wouldn't to able to get them off. Also using any impact wrench without the torque limiting extensions can warp your disc brake rotors if you don't get each lug nut tightened equally. I hope this helps.

There are 3 settings for torque on this gun - one could use the medium setting then finalizing torque by hand with a torque wrench to the exact specification you desire. 500 lbs is a lot of torque however. I use this on the high setting when I'm only torqueing my truck wheels to 150 ft lbs and its ok as long as I don't torque overly long.
